**Respirators** - Cartridge Filter Respirator: protects against vapors and spray mists of one-part enamel (no hardener added), lacquers, and other nonisocyanate materials - Dust Respirator: A paper filter that fits over your nose and mouth to block small airborne particles. - Welding Respirator: has a special cartridge inserts designed to trap welding fumes - Air Supplied Respirator: provides protection from inhaling extremely dangerous airborne materials: paint with added hardener, isocyanate paint vapors and mists, and hazardous solvent vapors. An air-supplied respirator is the safest type of protection. To perform a negative pressure test, place the palms of your hands over the cartridges and inhale To perform a positive pressure test, cover up the exhalation valve and exhale or breathe out **Gloves** - Impervious Gloves: should be used when working with any chemical that can be harmful if exposed to your skin, such as solvents or two-part primers and topcoats - Nitrile Gloves: should be used when working with chemicals solvents and adhesives - Neoprene Gloves: use when dealing with any corrosive acids such as battery acids **Fire Extinguishers:** A multipurpose dry chemical fire extinguisher: will put out ordinary combustible, flammable liquid, and electrical fires **Class A fires(green):** for ordinary combustibles like paper and plastics -- Use water, foam, or multipurpose dry chemical fire extinguisher. **Class B fires(red):** for flammable liquids like gas and grease -- Use Foam,\ Carbon dioxide, Halogenated agent, Standard dry chemical, Purple K dry chemical, or Multipurpose dry chemical extinguishers. NOT WATER **Class C fires(blue):** for electrical equipment like wires -- Use Carbon dioxide, Halogenated agent, Standard dry chemical, Purple K dry chemical, or Multipurpose dry chemical extinguishers. NOT FOAM **Class D fires(yellow):** for combustible metals like aluminum -- use only dry powder fire extinguishers. NOT FOAM OR CARBON DIOXIDE Multipurpose dry chemical fire extinguishers are the only extinguisher that fights A, B, and C classes of fires **Safety Data Sheets** **Safety data sheets (SDS):** contain information on hazardous ingredients and protective measures that the technician should use **[Other Terms:]** **Ignitability**: means the material or waste fails the ignitability test if it is a liquid with a flash\ point [below] 140°F or a solid that can spontaneously ignite. **Right-to-Know Laws:** specify essential information and stipulations for safely working with hazardous mate- rials **Pathogens:** disease-producing microorganisms or agents **Asphyxiation:** refers to anything that prevents normal breathing **Explosions**: fast-moving air pressure waves that result from extremely rapid burning Questions 1. **Which of the following present dangers to the air passages and lungs of body shop technicians?** 1.
