Carbon Monoxide
This type of breathing equipment must be used for rescue operations involving carbon monoxide.
What is self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)?
During radiography work, these two colors are used for radiation barricade tape.
What are yellow and magenta (purple)?
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?
This item must be worn when working within 6 feet of a waterway shoreline during vacuum truck operations.
What is a personal flotation device (PFD)?
At sustained CO concentrations above this concentration, disorientation, unconsciousness, and death are possible.
What is 150 to 200 ppm?
This is the annual dose limit for radiation exposure to the whole body for employees.
What is 5 rem per year?
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 type of equipment, essential for preventing static electricity, must be used during vacuum truck operations.
What are grounding and bonding cables?
This equipment should never be used for breathing purposes due to its nitrogen backup.
What is the refinery’s air grid?
This type of personal equipment measures an individual’s exposure to gamma or x-ray radiation.
What is a radiation dosimeter?
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?
The operation of this vacuum truck feature requires monitoring of caustic solution pH levels to prevent depletion.
What is a scrubber truck?
P66 has adopted this value as an 8-hour occupational exposure limit for CO.
What is 25 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!
These tiny hair-like projections in the inner ear detect sound vibrations and send electrical signals to the brain through the auditory nerve.
This refining process converts straight-chain hydrocarbons into branched-chain hydrocarbons, increasing the octane number of gasoline.
What is isomerization?
Vacuum trucks fitted with this device must undergo a process known as active or passive regeneration.
What are diesel particulate filters?
CO detectors with this feature should be used in areas where hydrogen is present to minimize false positive readings.
What is hydrogen nullification technology?
This individual, meeting NRC 40-hour training criteria, is responsible for overseeing the radiation safety program at Bayway.
Who is the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO)?
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 is the device on a vacuum truck that ensures hydrocarbon vapors are adsorbed, requiring a flame arrestor for safety.
What is a carbon canister?
