Activity1.1.1General Safety Test
Introduction
This activity will assess your knowledge of general classroom/laboratory safety.
Equipment
- Paper and pencil
 
Procedure
Choose the best answer for the following questions.
- If you do not knowwhethera circuit is on or off, what should you do first?
 - Measure the circuit with a voltmeter.
 - Measure the circuit with an ohmmeter.
 - Check the circuit with a continuity tester.
 - Lick your fingers and check the wires.
 - If a tool does not seem to be working correctly, you should
 - Continue to use the tool.
 - Label the tool that is broken and inform the instructor.
 - Give the tool to someone else to use.
 - Put the tool back in the box and quit for the day.
 - If you have not been giveninstruction on a tool or piece of equipment in the laboratory, you should
 - Obtaininstruction from the teacher on how to use the piece of equipment.
 - Read the equipment instructions.
 - Ask the instructor for clarification.
 - All of the above
 
- Wearing jewelry while working with electrical circuits may
 - Accidentally cause a short across components.
 - Create connections with circuits that you did not know how to connect.
 - Accidentallycatch on moving parts or wires that may be pulled from the work.
 - Both A and C.
 - Before checking any electrical circuit, you should
 - Disconnect the power to the circuit.
 - Aska partner stand guard over thepower disconnect so that no one else reconnects the circuit.
 - Test the circuit with a meter to make sure that no current is flowing.
 - All of the above
 - What is the maximum current level that a human body can withstand before sustaining injury?
 - 100 uA
 - 1.0 mA
 - 15 mA
 - 50 mA
 - Which of the following should be used to extinguish an electrical fire?
 - Water
 - Class A fire extinguisher
 - Class B fire extinguisher
 - Class C fire Extinguisher
 - Material Safety Data Sheets will indicate
 - What the material is made of.
 - Thefirst aid procedure that you should follow.
 - How to handle the material.
 - All of the above
 
- Which of the following is true?
 - Safety glasses or goggles should be worn to prevent eye injuries from chemicals that splash.
 - Safety glasses or goggles should be worn when using tools that maycause objects to be thrown.
 - Safety glasses or goggles should be used when soldering components.
 - All of the above
 - Taking your time while working will prevent accidents by
 - Allowing you to double check your connections.
 - Allowing you to make your circuits more neatly.
 - Allowing you to double check all part numbers and values.
 - All of the above
 - Which of the following is not a piece of clothing that you should wear in an electronics laboratory?
 - Rubber-soled shoes
 - Tight clothing with rolled up sleeves
 - Poncho style sweater
 - Safety glasses
 - The purpose of the grounding pin on a plug is to
 - Send stray currents to the earth ground.
 - Annoy you when you are working in a house with no ground pinhole in the outlet.
 - There is no purpose; cut off the pin.
 - All of the above
 - When working with electrical circuits and a liquid spill occurs, you should first
 - Run like a mad person.
 - Turn off the power.
 - Continue working; there is no danger.
 - Go to the hardware store and buy a flashlight.
 
- When a power cord is broken or frayed,
 - Continue to use the chord.
 - Label the broken section, do not use, and notify the instructor.
 - Pour water on the damaged section to see if it produces a shock.
 - All of the above
 - All accidents should be brought to the attention of the instructor so that
 - The teacher can document the injury for insurance purposes.
 - The teacher canadminister first aid or send the student to the school nurse.
 - Improvements can be made to avoid future injuries.
 - All of the above
 - Keeping the laboratory clean and neat
 - Allows othersto easily locatematerials.
 - Minimizes injuries caused by unknown obstacles.
 - A and B are not important issues.
 - Both A and B are both important issues.
 - Before picking up a capacitor, you should
 - Check the capacitor’s temperature.
 - Pour water on the capacitor.
 - Short out the leads to make sure the capacitor is discharged.
 - All of the above
 - Which of the following is allowable behavior in the electronics laboratory?
 - Setting up failing circuits as practical jokes.
 - Running races around the classroom.
 - Carefully building and documenting allcircuits.
 - Leaving work out overnight in a space that someone else will use.
 
- Where would you check if you needed the proper handling instructions for a lead acid battery?
 - Data Sheet
 - Material Safety Data Sheet
 - Textbook
 - Nuts and Volts Magazine
 - If in doubt, ask the instructor.
 - True
 - False
