This type of breathing equipment must be used for rescue operations involving carbon monoxide.
What is self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)?
This term refers to the ability and time it takes for a gas or liquid to move through the PPE or respirator cartridge.
What is Breakthrough Time?
Hearing protection is required when noise levels exceed this threshold of decibels over an 8-hour period.
What is 85 dB?
This term refers to unprocessed petroleum that comes directly from the ground.
What is crude oil?
Johnson & Johnson used Bayway’s white oil as the base for this product.
What is baby oil?
At sustained CO concentrations above this concentration, disorientation, unconsciousness, and death are possible.
What is 150 to 200 ppm?
This term (often used as an acronym) is a method of calculating a worker's daily exposure to a hazardous substance averaged over an 8-hr workday.
What is Time-Weighted-Average or TWA?
This temporary condition can occur after exposure to loud noise, causing a ringing or buzzing sound in the ears.
What is tinnitus?
This process removes sulfur from petroleum products to reduce emissions and meet environmental standards.
What is desulfurization?
This insecticide was one of Bayway’s most famous early consumer products.
What is Flit?
This equipment should never be used for breathing purposes due to its nitrogen backup.
What is the refinery’s air grid?
This control is considered the least effective because rather than mitigating the hazard itself it relies on the end user to protect themselves against the hazard.
What is PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)?
The effectiveness of hearing protection is measured using this rating, indicating how much noise reduction is provided.
What is the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)?
This rating indicates a fuel's ability to resist knocking or pinging during combustion.
What is the octane rating?
Bayway helped fuel these fighter planes built at Linden Airport during WWII.
What are Grumman Wildcats?
P66 has adopted this value as a 12-hour occupational exposure limit for CO.
What is 12.5 ppm?
This troubleshooting technique, often used on distillation columns, employs gamma rays to detect internal damage or overloading.
What is gamma scanning?
THE DAILY DOUBLE!
This instrument is used for personal noise exposure monitoring
This refining process converts straight-chain hydrocarbons into branched-chain hydrocarbons, increasing the octane number of gasoline.
What is isomerization?
This 1968 project centralized control of the main refining complex.
What is the Fuel Products Control Center (FPCC)?
CO detectors with this feature should be used in areas where hydrogen is present to minimize false positive readings.
What is hydrogen nullification technology?
When inhaled this substance interferes with the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen. Early symptoms often include headache, drowsiness, tiredness, and confusion.
What is Carbon Monoxide?
Exposure to noise above this decibel level for just 15 minutes can lead to permanent hearing damage.
What is 100 dB?
This gas is critical in the hydrocracking and hydrotreating processes to remove impurities from crude oil.
What is hydrogen?
This date marked Bayway’s 100th anniversary of continuous operations.
What is January 2, 2009?
