What influences how a container will behave when damaged or ruptured?
Size of the initial isolation area
The speed with which notifications were performed
Accuracy of preincident plans and predetermined procedures
Physical and chemical properties of the marerial and container
When does the first responder gather info to determine the amount or level of hazards present and the risks associated with the incident?
When the hazmat team arrives
Once the incident is concluded
Incident scene analysis or size up
Once life safety priorities have been met
Which statement about the General Hazardous Materials Behavior Model is MOST accurate?
It assumes that all hazardous materials react the same way
The behavior model is specific to incidents involving BLEVEs
It predicts the type and amount of harm caused by a hazardous material after container breach
It describes a general pattern regarding how a hazardous material and its container are likely to behave
What is the term for the event in which a container is stressed beyond the limits of recovery and opens and releases its contents
BLEVE
Breach
Release
Detonation
The dispersion of material from a container is sometimes referred to as:
Spillage
Blanketing
Engulfment
Disintegration
If an incident involves a pressure container, any product is likely to:
Detonate
Sublimate
Behave as a gas
Behave as a solid
Hemispheric pattern, cloud, plume, and cone are types of common:
Liquid spill patterns
Bull storage containers
Nonpressure container breaches
Dispersion patterns from pressure containers
Which statement about bulk facility storage tanks is MOST accurate
They come in many varieties
These pressure containers are all spherical
They rated to 15 psi (103 kPa) or greater
Because they are fixed, they are not hazardous
Which of the following provides visual clues to the presence of underground bulk facility tanks?
Spherical shape
Pipeline markers
Vents and fill points
Black and yellow placards
Cargo tank trucks, dry bulk containers, and mixed load containers are examples of:
Fixed facility containers for hazardous materials
Railway cars that transport hazardous materials
Highway vehicles that transport hazardous materials
Seagoing vessels that transport hazardous materials
When involved in fire or an unusual chemical reaction, which of the following cargo tanks is LEAST likely to rupture violently?
MC-33
Cryogenic
Low pressure
High pressure
Tank cars carry the bulk of the hazardous materials transported by:
Air
Rail
Sea
Road
Reporting marks, capacity stencil, and specification markings are types of North American
Facility placards
Highway placards
Barge shipping markings
Railroad tank car markings
Freight containers and tank containers are both types of:
Intermodal tanks
Facility containers
Cryogenic containers
Low pressure tank cars
Intermodal containers carrying hazardous materials must have:
Reinforced steel frames
Easily reachable release valves
Provider shipping names stenciled on two sides
Contents stenciled in 6-inch high red letters
Ton containers, Y cylinders, and Y ton containers are types of:
Railway cars
Bulk transportation containers
Underground storage containers
Which of the following statements about ton containers is MOST accurate
They are usually nonpressure tanks
They are the largest type of fixed facility containers
They are normally stored on their ends to save space
They typically release their contents as gases or vapors
Y cylinders are a type of:
Drum
Railway car
Compressed gas cylinders
Nonpressure gas cylinder
Which statement about radioactive materials containers is MOST accurate?
Radioactive fuels are often transmitted via pipeline
Because they are so uncommon, their transportation is not regulated
All radioactive materials or materials that may have been in contact with radioactive materials must be packed the same way
The type of packaging used to transport radioactive materials is determined by the activity, type, and form of the material to be shipped
What type of nonbulk packaging is designed to store and dispense cryogenic materials
Jerrican
Cylinder
Dewar flask
