Trichloroethylene can explode if contaminated with hydrazine, which reacts with the inadvertent introduction of nitrogen tetroxide. Concentrated acids can explode if water is poured into the acid. It should be poured into the water instead. Hydrogen can be explosive if there is a combination of accumulated hydrogen in battery/ under a vehicle's hood and a spark/ open flame. (Hammer and Price, 2001, p. 429).
Question 4- Seven rules for use of respiratory protective equipment are:
I. Personnel required to use the respiratory protective equipment should be familiar with its capabilities, limitations, and care.
II. Air-purifying-type canister gas masks should not be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres, or for gases whose concentration is unknown or great enough to overwhelm canister's capacity.
III. The user should leave a hazard area as soon as the warning device indicates that the protective equipment is near exhaustion. No attempt should be made to exceed the time …show more content…
Personal protective items which seriously reduce vision, unduly reduce mobility or dexterity, or create other difficulties should be reported. (Hammer and Price, 2001, p. 470).

Question 6- The radiation the public is most apprehensive of is ionizing radiation because of atomic bomb explosions. The fear escalated after the construction of nuclear plants and accidents, such as the Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island and the Ukraine's Chernobyl incidents. (Hammer and Price, 2001, p. 506).
Question 7- Ways in which vibrations can be eliminated or controlled are:
I. Determine if an operation, process, or piece of equipment that is noisy can be avoided or eliminated by the use of a quieter one.
II. Select and operate rotating and reciprocating equipment, such as pumps, fans, motors, and presses to operate as slowly as feasible. (Hammer and Price, 2001, p. 545).
III. Mount equipment that might vibrate on firm, solid foundations.
IV. If equipment vibrates, determine if the characteristics can be changed by the use of devices such as dynamic dampers, rubber or plastic bumpers, flexible mountings and couplings, or resilient flooring.
V. Keep the velocity of fluids, such as air flowing through the ducts and jets or liquids in piping, at lowest speeds
