Q2

A hazard class describes:

The country of origin The storage temperature The shape of the container The general type of hazard (physical, health, or environmental)

Q3

A hazard category indicates:

The PPE type The storage condition The hazard’s severity level Whether the chemical is flammable

Q4

Under GHS, Category 4 is:

Not classified A moderate hazard The most hazardous The least hazardous category

Q5

The term “signal word” refers to:

A chemical formula A transportation code A numeric hazard code The word used to indicate severity (“Warning” or “Danger”)

Q6

The pictogram with a flame symbol indicates:

Toxic Corrosive Flammable Environmental hazard

Q7

The health hazard pictogram (silhouette with star in chest) represents:

Eye irritation Skin corrosion Acute toxicity Carcinogenicity or respiratory sensitization

Q8

Which pictogram shows an exploding bomb?

Q9

The environment pictogram warns about:

Soil erosion Airborne particulates Radioactive emissions Marine pollution and aquatic toxicity

Q10

What do “Danger” and “Warning” mean on a GHS label?

They describe pH level They are marketing terms They identify chemical purity They indicate the level of hazard severity

Health hazards Physical hazards None of the above Environmental hazards

Q14

The gas cylinder pictogram indicates:

Biohazards Toxic vapors Flammable solids Gases under pressure

Q15

Under GHS, mixtures are classified based on:

Label color Storage time Flash point only Bridging principles and data for components

Q16

PPE Elimination Substitution Administrative control

Q28

Before cleaning a small spill, you should first:

Add water immediately Leave the area unreported Use absorbent towels blindly Identify the substance and consult the SDS

Q29

The Hierarchy of Controls aims to:

Track employee attendance Manage chemical deliveries Assign penalties for safety violations Minimize or remove workplace hazards

Q30

A safety shower is used for:

Cleaning the floor Flammable gas leaks Cooling overheated equipment Rinsing chemicals from skin or clothing

Blink rapidly Wait until irritation stops Cover the eye with a cloth Rinse with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical help

Q33

A good chemical safety practice before using any material is to:

Skip PPE for faster results Smell it to identify the substance Ask a co-worker what they did last time Review its SDS and label, and use recommended PPE

Q34
