Read the first 6 CMRP Safety and Environmental Compliance flashcards as text

  1. Which EPA regulation governs the management, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste generated during maintenance activities?

    Answer: Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

    RCRA establishes the federal framework for managing hazardous waste from generation through disposal, directly affecting maintenance shops that produce waste oils, solvents, and chemicals.

  2. What is the maximum allowable noise exposure for an 8-hour workday without hearing protection under OSHA standards?

    Answer: 90 dBA

    OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) for noise is 90 dBA as an 8-hour time-weighted average, above which hearing protection or engineering controls are required.

  3. A maintenance technician notices a small oil sheen on the floor drain that leads to a storm sewer. Under the Clean Water Act, what should be the immediate response?

    Answer: Stop the discharge, contain the spill, and report per the facility's spill prevention plan

    Any discharge of oil into navigable waters can trigger Clean Water Act liability, so immediate containment and reporting per the SPCC plan is required.

  4. Which leading safety indicator would be most useful for predicting future incidents in a maintenance organization?

    Answer: Near-miss reporting rate

    Near-miss reporting rates are leading indicators that reveal hazardous conditions before injuries occur, enabling proactive corrective action.

  5. What is the primary goal of behavior-based safety (BBS) programs in maintenance departments?

    Answer: To observe and reinforce safe work behaviors before incidents occur

    BBS programs use observations and positive reinforcement to increase the frequency of safe behaviors, proactively reducing injury risk.

  6. When conducting arc flash hazard analysis, which standard provides the methodology for calculating incident energy levels?

    Answer: NFPA 70E

    NFPA 70E provides the standard method for performing arc flash hazard analysis and selecting appropriate arc-rated PPE based on incident energy calculations.
