ABDOO166525 VCM EXPOSURE TRAINING TEST, 1981 neg- /9- I DEPARTMENT DATE The^igh^htiur exposure limit for VCM is /parts per miLlion (average). Thfr"'! 5-minute exposure limit for VCM is /parts per million (average). You are required to wear an approved respirator in VCM concentrations above: a. 1.0 ppm b. 0.5 ppm c. 10.0 ppm d. 5.0 ppm VCM is not a fire hazard. True Exposure to high levels of VCM over long periods of time may cause liver cancer and chromosome damage. If you can't smell any VCM, you can be sure that there is not enough around to hurt you. A True True VCM is a colorless gas at normal temperature and pressure. True Breathing the smoke from burning VCM can cause severe lung damage or death. True Indicators of VCM leaks include "icing" and "hissing" sounds from processing equipment. True You must stay out of VCM regulated areas except when you e a reason to enter them because of your work. True OurHoneywell continuous monitors alarm when | ppm is detected in an area. The VCM regulated areas in the plant are: (Circle a, b, c, or d) False False False False False False False a. The old reactor area and the VCM tank farm b. The VCM compressor shed and the tops of the large slurry blend tanks. c. The two vinyl reactor areas, the tops of the large slurry blend tanks, the VCM compresser shed, and the tops of VCM tank cars. d. The VCM storage sphere, the recovery areas in both vinyl units, the tops of VCM tank cars, and the east half of the plasticizer tank farm. 13. You must wear protective clothing when doing any job where your skin might come in contact with liquid VCM. X.. True 14. Any part of the body which is exposed to liquid VC! may be quickly and severely frostbi-ten. When^a-VCM emergency begins, all plant workers not directly 'involved with handling the situation should immediately assemble in a group just north of the guardhouse. JL True True False False False TEST CONTINUED ON BACK ABDOO166526 'CM cannlster masks may be used in VCM concentrations below 10 ppm for up to 10 hours. They must not be used in higher concentrations except to escape from danger. 17. Air-line respirators may be used in VCM concentrations of no more than 1000 ppm. They must not be used in unknown concentrations. 18. Scott Air Paks must be worn in VCM concentrations above 1000 ppm. They must also be worn in unknown concentrations. 19. Breathing high concentrations of VCM can cause you to pass out. 20. One of the purposes, of the medical surveillance program is to detect the symptoms of VCM relaced illness as early as possible.'
