QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS|NEW UPDATE|GRADED
A+
All riggin shall have how many checks prior to Loading? 3 All equip. that falls 3 ft onto a hard surface shall be checked for: Burs, sharp edges, dirt, contaminates, lose parts and deformaties Rope deployed from the anchor point to the ground should be deployed: So only the amount needed is with a dynamic anchor Helmets used for rope rescue should be: Lighter in weight Rope gloves shall be Sturdy formfitting gloves with a leather palm
T/F: Fall protection (travel restraint) at the edge shall be long enough for the edge attendant to go over the edge and no farther False A class one harness is designed to stop rescuer when he: Reaches the edge T/F: Class two harnesses are designed for 600 lb loads and will not keep the rescuer in an up-right position if they become unconscious. True Class three harnesses are: Designed to keep the rescuer or victim in an up-right position T/F: A person that falls in a harness and is suspended and unable to stand on a solid surface should lift their legs into a sitting position and avoid moving.
T/F: Personnel at a rescue scene whether they are workers, IC, safety officer all have the ability to call a stop during rope rescue operations if they see an unsafe operation True A helmet used for repor rescue should be an approved light weight helmet with a: 3 point strap position under the chin Care and maintenance of all rescue equipment should be per: The helmet's manufacturer recommendations T/F: Care should be taken when rope is under tension not to allow a second rope under tension (a line) to run across the stationary rope under tension. This will cause a nylon on nylon situation that can burn through a rope quickly True Most rope failures are caused by: Abrasion
Rope that will lose strength when wet is: Nylon Polyester handles shock loads: Not as well as nylon Pylopropylene rope: Has a good chemical resistance Examples of natural fiber ropes include: Cotton, sisal , manila Laid rope can be damaged by abrasion easier because: 100% of the ropes fibers come to the surface at some point along its' length
The qualities of good knots, bends and hitches are: Determined by the ease of tying and untying after loading The figure-8 is the strongest loop knot when tied: with an inside bight The butterfly knot is designed for: Multi-directional loading The triple fisherman's knot is a Bend knot Tandem prusik hitches are placed on the line and tied with the bridges: the same
Nylon rope is damaged by: Chemicals containing acid Polyester rope is damaged by chemicals containing a base Mildew will occur naturally in: natural fiber ropes T/F: Natural fiber ropes are strong and have abrasion resistance. False Fibers that run parallel in the core of a kernmantel rope will create a Static rope
Besides holding or capturing a load line, prusiks are used for: Self-rescue Accessory cord used in the construction of a load releasing hitch can be either 8mm or 9mm T/F: A load releasing hitch made with one inch tubular webbing can be used with tandem prusiks for belay operations with rescue loads over 450 lbs False T/F: Load releasing hitches are constructed with carabiners only False
T/F: Tandem prusiks can only be used in conjunction with a prusik minding pulley False T/F: Block - Creel construction refers to rope with a continuous filament fiber construction in both the kern and mantel of a rope True A knot with a small internal radius bends, as those found in square knots or over hand knots will .... when tied in 1/2 inch kernmantle rope be weaker T/F: After each use, rope should be reversed in the bag True Over a period of time as rope or accessory cord is used, it will: Become shorter
Chemicals and sunlight will cause rope to change color and fade Life safety rope damaged or used for anything other than rescue operations shall be destroyed Besides a minimum diameter of 11mm G rated rope, NFPA requirements also call for Rope diameter, elongation, minimum temperature A 15:1 ratio for rope strength use to be a NFPA standard but a more realistic ratio is suggested to be 10: T/F: Knots that are tied in the rope, dressed and set prior to loading can be left in the rope but knots that have been loaded should be removed and the rope allowed to rest prior to retying the knot.
True A knot used to isolate a bad spot in the line in an emergency is a: lineman's loop T/F: the strongest of all the loop knots is the figure-8 on a bight true The strongest type of webbing construction is: Tape The strongest tubular webbing construction is Shuttle loom Just like with all equipment, care and maintenance of webbing is:
Hasty harnesses are very constrictive in nature and when placed on an individual can fall off if not under load or secured over the shoulders and they do not have a classification 1 in tubular webbing has a tensile strength of approx 4000lbs Webbing comes in various configurations for anchoring purposes including Commercially sewn, tied, commercially sewn NFPA certified with 5000 lb D-rings A munter system is designed for loads less than 300 lb
A munter can be used as a means of lowering a load 300 lbs or less in an emergency and also for rappelling When setting a belay at an anchor point, it shall be kept as close to the load (fall line) as possible to prevent pendulum affect When constructing a tandem prusik belay, it is advisable to use a load releasing hitch in the event the tandem prusiks become stuck or jammed T/F: It is acceptable to anchor yourself to the back of your harness and place the belay device in the front lower attachment point in the harness for belay operations. This will help maintain the rescuer in an upright position if they become unconscious. False
The maximum amount of slack allowed in the belay line is: 1 foot T/F: Dynamic rope used for belay operations has a laid kern construction and is covered under NFPA 1983 False A bottom belay will will not arrest a fall if the main line fails. Engineered shock absorbing equipment is recommended by NFPA anytime there is a potential fall factor greater than . Carabiners used in fall protection equipment designed for tower climbing shall per OSHA be designed with: A self closing self locking design
The best way to prevent a fall by the edge attendant working with rescuers near the edge is with: Travel restraint securely tied to a fixed anchor T/F: Mechanical belay devices, per the manufacture, do not need to be tied off when not being tended to by the belay operator, as they are all automatic. False Examples of mechanical belay devises include all of the following except: HMS Munter carabiner T/F: When operating a belay, the belay and the mainline can be placed on the same anchor point to aid in operations. False
