Intro to Process Safety

Front

What is hazard?

Back

Source or situation (chemical or physical) with a potential to cause harm, injury or damage to either human, property or the environment or some combination of these

Front

Which of the following is an example of a physical hazard?
Noise exposure
Toxic chemicals
Viruses and bacteria
Workplace stress

Back

Noise exposure

Front

What is the best way to control a hazard in the workplace?

Back

Eliminating or reducing the hazard at the source

Front

Slips, trips, and falls are considered biological hazards.

Back

False

Front

Electrical hazards can occur due to faulty wiring or overloaded circuits.

Back

True

Front

Which example best represents the application of inherent safety? Options: Training employees to wear protective gear, Installing more alarms and emergency systems, Increasing the number of safety inspections, Replacing a toxic chemical with a less hazardous alternative

Back

Replacing a toxic chemical with a less hazardous alternative

Front

What is the main advantage of inherent passive safety?

Back

It eliminates the need for human intervention and external energy sources

Front

Which of these is an example of an inherent passive safety measure? Options: Using a pressure relief valve in a chemical reactor, Replacing a hazardous solvent with a non-toxic alternative, Designing storage tanks to withstand overpressure without active controls, Requiring personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers

Back

Designing storage tanks to withstand overpressure without active controls

Front

An automatic pressure relief system in a reactor is an example of inherent active safety.

Back

True

Front

Which of the following is an example of inherent active safety? A reactor that shuts down automatically when overheating is detected. A containment barrier preventing chemical spills. A process designed to avoid hazardous conditions altogether. A manual emergency stop button used by an operator.

Back

A reactor that shuts down automatically when overheating is detected.
