  2. How is a preventative measure defined?: An action taken to reduce the potential of a ACBM becoming damaged or significantly damaged
  3. Repair, Removal, encapsulation or enclosure is considered to be?: A Re- sponse action
  4. The most appropriate response action as defined by AHERA is?: The one that protects human health and the environment in the least burdensome manner
  5. What is the required response action to significantly damaged friable surfacing ACBM?: Immediately isolate the functional space and remove, enclose, or encapsulate the material

  9. Why is admin controls, engineering controls, and PPE the correct order to prevent employee exposure?: Administrative controls prevent unnecessary contact with ACM such as restricted access or required training if contact is required. (prevent) Engineering controls are means to prevent, control, minimize or contain the distur- bance to the ACM within a designated area. (control) PPE is the last line of defense against exposure. Prone to human error. Typically requires oversight. (mitigation)

  1. Personal Air Monitoring data and Medical Surveillance Data are required by employers to...?: To be kept by employers for 30 years.
  2. Why is the Equipment room, Shower and clean room the correct order for a Class I decontamination unit?: In asbestos work, the Decon Unit works to prevent migration of fibers from the containment to the outside. The equipment room is where all the dirty tools and used tyveks suites will be removed. Followed by removal of the respirator in the shower room to wash any contamination that may have lingered on the worker and on the respirator. Lastly the clean room, where the worker can don their uncontaminated plainclothes
  3. A two story building has a basement, a boiler room, one pipe chase, two restrooms on each floor, a lobby and an office area. How many function spaces does the building have?: 9 one basement one boiler room one pipe chase two bathrooms on the first floor two bathrooms on the second floor one lobby (presumably on the first floor) one office (presumably on the second floor. Why else would there be two bathrooms on the second floor and nothing else?) Be aware of badly worded questions on the exam. It isn't clear whether everything before the bathrooms can be considered to be on both floors or just the bathrooms by the way the question is worded. However, if you take typical building schematics into consideration there is no way there would be two basements on each floor since basements are foundation level spaces. In small buildings there will typically be only one boiler room whereas high rise buildings

either have multiple boiler rooms in really old historical buildings or one very large boiler room almost the size of the foundation itself.
