current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, if a
worker's noise exposure is 85% after five hours and 25 minutes of noise
exposure, and assuming conditions remain constant, what would the exposure be
after eight hours?

As a
general rule, power presses are best protected by fixed guards that enclose the
danger areas. When guards are not possible or practical, safeguarding devices
may be used to protect workers from point-of-operation hazards where moving
parts actually perform work on stock. Which type of safeguarding device
requires adjustment for each individual operator?
In
testing chemicals in the laboratory, toxicologists have learned that many
chemicals act together in certain ways on biological systems. When the exposure
to two different toxic chemicals produce a more severe effect than simply
doubling the dose of either one alone, such as isopropyl alcohol and
chloroform, what is this called?
What is
the term for chemicals or substances that cause damage or death to a developing
fetus, but the damage cannot be passed on to further generations, as it does
not affect the genetic code?
A
direct reading instrument indicates a concentration of 1.5% for hazardous
material that has a permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 150 ppm, an immediately
dangerous to life and health (IDLH) of 1500 ppm, and a lower explosive limit
(LEL) of 15,000 ppm. You have been assigned the task of respirator selection
for entry into this atmosphere. Which of the following statements is the most
correct?
A
__________ is a toxic agent or substance that inhibits, damages, or destroys
the cells and/or tissues of the kidneys.
The
hepatitis B virus infects the liver. In some individuals, it develops into
serious or fatal problems, such as cirrhosis, liver cancer, or chronic liver
disease. Some people have no problems or symptoms yet become carriers of the
virus. Which of the following represents the proper acronym for hepatitis B
virus?

ppm; and 1400-1600 @ 200 ppm.
A
production area has a conveyor belt running parallel to and next to a walkway.
The conveyor belt has smooth rods rotating beneath the belt, and these rods
stick out 3/4 inch past the edge of the belt. What is the best course of action
to protect workers from the potential hazard?

results in a decrease in hearing ability. What is this condition called?

National Standard Z89.1-1997 establishes specifications for helmets (hardhats)
to protect the heads of industrial workers from impact and penetration by
falling objects and from high-voltage electrical shock. Which of the following
classes offers low-voltage protection?
What
instrument would one use to understand the noise exposure experienced by all
employees in a particular workplace with highly variable noise levels?
