  • An understanding of what hazardous substances are, and the risks associated with them in an incident.
  • An understanding of the potential outcomes associated with an emergency created when hazardous substances are present.
  • The ability to recognize the presence of hazardous substances in an emergency.
  • The ability to identify the hazardous substances, if possible.
  • The knowledge of what to do in a suspicious situation.

Which color in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 704 system conveys information about a hazardous materials special properties?

NFPA 704 Hazmat color codes:

red -- fire hazard (4 being flash point below 73 F)

yellow -- reactivity (4 may detonate) and

white -- specific hazard (no water, radioactive, acid, alkali, corrosive, oxidizer)

Why can birds sit on power lines without being shocked?

The short answer is they are not grounded. You can hang from a line also and not be harmed, but don't try it as if you do it wrong you can be severely hurt or killed. So what does "they are not grounded" mean? Electric current flows from high voltage to low voltage. The power line is high voltage. The earth, or ground, is low voltage. Anything in contact with the earth is also at the same low voltage. That is why there are insulators between the lines and the poles. The higher voltage the lines, the bigger the insulators. You can see this for yourself by looking at a high voltage tower versus a typical wooden power poll. When the bird lands on the line, it is only in contact with the line. There is no path to the lower voltage ground for the electrical current to flow thorugh. No current flow means no harm to the bird. People get into to trouble with power lines because they are almost always in contact with the pole or the ground when they, or something they are holding, touch the line, which means the current flows through them to the lower voltage. Note that the lower voltage does not have to be zero volts. It just has to be lower than the high voltage for the current to flow. It is not the voltage that kills you. It is the combination of voltage and current. No current or low current, no harm. When you scoot your feet on the carpet on a dry day and touch the door knob, a spark jumps and you feel a small snap. Your skin is charged up to 10's of thousands of volts, but there is very little current flow, so no harm is done. Hope this helps.

Which one of the following three hazards takes precedence?

-a toxic subatance (class 6.1 packing group i - dermal

-a flammabel liquid ( class 3 packing group ii)

- a corrosive substance ( class 8 liquid packing group ii)

Why is recyling of hazardous materials important?

Management of toxic metals is important for various reasons. Many metals have a long soil half-life, which means that their toxicity stays active for a long time. It also means that there is potential for cumulative effects of the metals if they are buried or dumped in the same site in quantity or over time. As some metals have been proven to have detrimental impacts on animal and human health, it is imperative that they are disposed of in such a way to impose minimum risk.

Are there hazardous materials in computers?

The field of hazardous materials systems technology involves substances that are toxic, ignitable, corrosive or reactive. Hazardous materials technicians deal with asbestos, lead, fuel, radioactive waste and polluted soil, among other substances

What are the benefits of procedures for the recycling of hazardous materials?

Recycling is important because of the need to preserve natural resources. The more recycling, the less new resources are used. An organizational procedure for recycling and disposal of hazardous materials is to have a community center dedicated to recycling.
