These specific hazards identified in a preplan are associated with structural and physical conditions at a rescue incident
What are Physical hazards?
This should be the first priority when monitoring a space to ensure life safety.
What is Oxygen content?
This material is surprisingly not a standard component of Supplied Air Respirators (SAR)
What is PVC Tubing?
This is the most common method used to secure a victim’s head to a short spine immobilizer
What are Velcro straps?
This confined space hazard is brought in by the individual and is largely under their own mental control
What is Claustrophobia?
This document must include authority, problem statement, resources needed, approval, and date of implementation
What is a Preplan form?
Of the five most common gases in confined spaces, this one acts as an intense poison when inhaled.
What is Carbon Monoxide?
This person is responsible for managing the air-lines during Phase IV of entry and rescue operations
Who is Air Supply?

What is a Half-Sked Patient Drag?
These two factors have a significant and dangerous effect on the stability of trench walls.
What are Surcharge loads and vibration?
This type of command is formed when incident management personnel and decision-makers plan for confined space resource needs
What is Unified Command?
When testing a stratified atmosphere during descent, you should test at this distance in the direction of travel and to each side.

Confusion, poor judgment, loss of coordination, and chills with a body temp up to 101.3°F are signs of this condition
What is Heat Stroke?
This question helps identify hazards by asking if certain industries routinely perform entries for cleaning or maintenance
What is "Are there any locations, industries, etc., that routinely perform confined space entry...?"
This specific type of tubing should never be placed directly into potentially hazardous materials
What is Air Monitoring tubing?
This team must decontaminate personnel and equipment as necessary upon leaving a space
Who is the Decon Team?
To move a victim onto a long spine immobilizer with minimal manipulation, you should perform this move with a partner
What is a Log Roll?
When initiating a search, this many entry operations should be finished prior to starting the actual rescue
What is No (none) entry operations?
Many jurisdictions legally require this specific team to be in place before any responders enter a hazardous situation
Who is the Back-up team?
This communication method does not require line-of-sight and can travel long distances through confined space structures
What is Rapping or Tapping?
To ensure safety, a training course must be verifiable and meet the standards of this federal agency
What is OSHA?
This system is a short spine immobilizer that features a full-body harness to help secure the victim
What is the Spec Pak Patient Extrication System?
The air source for an SAR typically consists of neither a fixed nor mobile compressor unit alone, but rather this
Typically cylinders or specialized carts
