• Time management is very important while writing exam.
• 1. Some questions are easy. Don’t answer by impulse.
• 2. some will be hard (you know that you don’t know)
• 3. some are time consuming (you can do that if it time permits)
 Time Management Strategy during exam:
Total 200 multiple-choice questions,
Time: 300 minutes for ASP & 330 minutes for CSP
(There is no negative mark for wrong answer)
So, all 200 questions to be seen & answered.
Don’t leave any question unanswered

• Easy questions: tick your answer. Immediately see question & your clicked answer
again & correct it if needed and don’t flag (Revision needed if time permits)
• Hard questions: tick random answer and don’t flag (Revision needed if time permits)
• Time consuming questions / Math: Leave unanswered but flag for seeing after you see all
200 questions.
• After seeing 200 questions in say 200 minutes, See only flagged questions
• After answering all flagged questions, start seeing all questions from beginning to end
smartly without panic.
• NB: Click all questions. Don’t leave any question unanswered.
Be Careful for your Belief-system
• Beliefs in Person(s) are very important.
• Those Beliefs create person-states i.e., Belief-State.
• Every behaviour is filtered through person’s belief-
system. Everybody behaves according to his/her belief.
• What you should not believe reg the exam ?
• Be attentive of the next slide and you have to tell the
time of the clock.

The first step in responding to spill of a
hazardous substance is to:
a. contain the spilled substance
b. clean up the spilled substance
c. identify the spilled substance
d. ensure that people are protected
NFPA 101: Life Safety Code: Protect People, Property & Environment (PPE)

The first step in responding to spill of a

hazardous substance is to:
a. contain the spilled substance
b. clean up the spilled substance
c. identify the spilled substance
d. ensure that people are protected
Although the identifying the substance determines the most effective clean
up procedure and protective equipment needed, the first step is to ensure
that people are protected. This includes both responders and other people.

• Asphyxiants are substances that can cause suffocation by preventing oxygen
from reaching tissues.

• Asphyxiants have been classified into TWO GENERAL CATEGORIES;

simple asphyxiants and chemical asphyxiants.
• Simple asphyxiants are those gases or vapors that are not toxic by themselves
but can cause suffocation as a result of reducing the oxygen concentration.
CO2 and nitrogen are examples of simple asphyxiants.
• Chemical asphyxiants, on the other hand, interfere with body’s capability to
absorb oxygen into the blood stream. Carbon monoxide (CO is 210 times
more reactive with blood than oxygen) and hydrogen cyanide are examples of
chemical asphyxiants.

Concept of Rule of Thumb of Decibel…..contd
• In situations where several sound levels have to be added to
obtain the combined effect, the following procedure can be used:
• 1.     Add the two lowest decibel levels.
• 2.     Add the result of step 1 to the next higher level.
3. Continue until all decibel levels have been added.
• Example: Five machines are operating in a machine shop, each
generating a sound: Machine 1: 79 dBA; Machine 2: 85 dBA;
Machine 3: 87 dBA; Machine 4: 95 dBA; Machine 5: 93 dBA
• Answer:Combined effect from all five machines operating
simultaneously is equivalent to a sound level of 98 dBA
• NB:A high frequency noise is more harmful to human ear than a
low frequency noise having the same amount of sound energy.

 Globally Harmonized System (GHS)
• GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and
Labelling of Chemicals.

• Two Major Elements in GHS:

• 1. Classification of the hazards of chemical
• 2. Communication of the hazards and precautionary information

• There are three major hazard groups:

• 1. Physical hazards (Explosives, gases, Flammable liquids / solids, .
•
Flammable solids, peroxides, Corrosive etc.).


• 2. Health hazards (toxic, skin/eye irritation, Carcinogen, target organ, Aspiration etc.).
• 3. Environmental hazards (aquatic environment, ozone layer)
Pictograms Used in GHS
Pictograms Used in GHS
The primary reason for the globally harmonized
system for hazardous chemical usage is to:

• A. Enforce re porting requirements of world wide manufacturers.

• B. Replace the patchwork of different regulations used throughout the world.
• C. Limit illegal importation of chemicals into non-regulated countries.
• D. Transition to the use of pictograms for non-reading workers.
