Study Notes
Fire Safety and Hazards
- Class C fires are primarily electrical fires.
- Blue quadrant in the NFPA labeling system indicates a health hazard; yellow indicates instability.
- RACE is an acronym used during fire emergencies: Rescue, Alert, Contain, Extinguish.
- First use a fire alarm lever in case of fire before taking any other action.
Chemical Safety
- Rubber gloves are essential for the cleanup of chemical spills.
- The Global Harmonization System mandates Safety Data Sheets (SDSs).
- SDSs must be provided by chemical manufacturers under the Hazard Communication Standard.
- In a chemical spill, rinse exposed skin with water immediately; do not rub the area.
- For hazardous chemicals, specifically "explosive flammables," storage requires explosion-proof cabinets.
CPR and First Aid
- CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation; it's a lifesaving technique.
- The first step to control severe bleeding involves applying pressure directly to the wound.
- In case of shock, it is important to keep the airway open, but avoid giving fluids.
- For mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, first check if the victim is conscious by gently tapping and speaking loudly.
Radiation Safety
- A dosimeter badge is crucial in nuclear medicine to monitor radiation exposure.
- Major principles for self-protection from radiation include time, distance, and shielding.
- High exposure to radioactivity can lead to health issues such as leukemia.
Electrical Safety
- Shut off electrical power first in case of an electrical accident.
- If electrical shock occurs, prioritize safety before administering CPR.
Miscellaneous Safety Points
- Some tourniquets may contain latex material.
- Not all disposable gloves are latex-free; confirm the type before use.
- Contact lenses should be removed prior to eye rinsing in case of a chemical spill.
- Severe bleeding should be controlled by applying pressure directly above the wound, not below.
General Knowledge
- NFPA stands for National Fire Protection Association.
- Class A fires (wood, paper) typically require ABC extinguishers; Class B fires (flammables) can be put out using carbon dioxide extinguishers.
- The dosimeter is not used for blood specimen preparation or testing; it is a tool for radiation safety monitoring.
