UMLt/ NAME L ABDOO167097 VCM EXPOSURE TRAINING TEST, 1981 DEPARTMENT DATE <?/ The eight-hour exposure limit for VCM is __/_ parts per million (average). The 15-minute exposure limit for VCM-Ts /J? parts.^r million (average) . You are required to wear an approved respirator in VCM concentrations above: 1.0 ppm b. 0.5 ppm c. 10.0 ppm d. 5.0 ppm 4. VCM is not a fire hazard. True False 5. Exposure to high levels of VCM over long periods of time may cause liver cancer and chromosome damage. True False If you can't smell any VCM, you can be sure that there is not enough around to hurt you. VCM is a colorless gas at normal temperature and pressure. Breathing the smoke from burning VCM can cause severe lung damage or death. "V^ True True True False False False Indicators of VCM leaks include "icing" and "hissing" sounds from processing equipment. True 10 You must stay out of VCM regulated areas except when you have a reason to enter them because of your work. True fOur Honeywell continuous monitors alarm when ppm is detected in an area. False False The VCM regulated areas in the plant are: (Circle a, b, c, or d) aj The old reactor area and the VCM tanl bj The VCM compressor shed and the tops of the lar^e slurry blend tanks. ^c^) The two vinyl reactor areas, the tops of the larg^slurry blend tanks, the VCM compresser shed, and the tops of VCM tank cars. The VCM storage sphere, the recover both vinyl units, the tops of VCM tank cars the plasticizer tank farm. 13 You must wear protective clothing when doing any job where your skin might come in contact with liquid VCM. ITrue 14 Any part of the body which is exposed to liquid VCM may be quickly and severely frostbiten. True 15 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. True False False TEST CONTINUED ON BACK ABDOO167098 i 16. |VCM cannister 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. i 17. Air-line respirators may be used in VCM concentrations of no more than 1000 ppm. They must not be used in unknown (coneentrat ions. 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. I 20. One of the purposes of the medical surveillance program (is to detect the symptoms of VCM related illness as early ^as possible. i i i \ i True True True True True False False False False False i
