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
