ASP Domain 6: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health Welcome to your ASP Domain 6: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health 1. ASP: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health When assessing worker exposure to a certain chemical, which of the following is the most critical factor to determine the need for engineering controls? The chemical's boiling point The Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of the chemical The pH value of the chemical The chemical's solubility in water None 2. ASP: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health In the context of industrial hygiene, the 'hierarchy of controls' is a system used to minimize or eliminate exposure to hazards. Which of the following represents the correct order of controls from most effective to least effective? Engineering controls, administrative controls, personal protective equipment (PPE), elimination, substitution Elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, personal protective equipment (PPE) Personal protective equipment (PPE), administrative controls, engineering controls, elimination, substitution Substitution, elimination, personal protective equipment (PPE), administrative controls, engineering controls None 3. ASP: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health In occupational health, the 'TLV-STEL' refers to which of the following? Time-Weighted Average Threshold Limit Value Threshold Limit Value - Short-Term Exposure Limit Threshold Limit Value - Ceiling Threshold Limit Value - Skin None 4. ASP: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health Which analytical method is primarily used in industrial hygiene to assess air quality for particulates not otherwise regulated (PNOR)? Gas chromatography Atomic absorption spectroscopy Gravimetric analysis High-performance liquid chromatography None 5. ASP: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health In the field of industrial hygiene, what is the primary purpose of using a 'cascade impactor'? To measure the velocity of airborne particles To identify the chemical composition of aerosols To determine the size distribution of airborne particulate matter To measure the concentration of gas-phase contaminants None 6. ASP: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health When evaluating a workplace for potential ergonomic risks, which assessment tool is specifically designed to analyze repetitive motion tasks? NIOSH Lifting Equation Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) Strain Index None 7. ASP: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health Which term refers to the maximum concentration of a chemical substance that a worker can be exposed to for a momentary period without experiencing any immediate health effects? Time-Weighted Average (TWA) Ceiling Limit Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) Immediate Danger to Life or Health (IDLH) None 8. ASP: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health What is the primary purpose of conducting a "Noise Dosimetry" in the field of industrial hygiene? To determine the noise reduction rating (NRR) of hearing protection devices To assess the sound level in a specific location To measure an individual's exposure to noise over a specified period To identify the frequency characteristics of noise in the workplace None 9. ASP: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health When assessing the risk of chemical exposure, why is it important to consider the "route of entry" into the body? It determines the chemical's physical state It influences the choice of personal protective equipment It affects the chemical's rate of absorption and potential harm It determines the environmental persistence of the chemical None 10. ASP: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health In industrial hygiene, the term "Bioaerosol" refers to: Any airborne chemical agent Airborne particles derived from biological sources Solid particles suspended in air Liquid droplets dispersed in the air None 1 out of 10 Time is Up!
