ISO

Question 1

Essential training subjects for increased incident safety

Answer 1

• PPE
• Accountability
• Company formation and team continuity
• Fire behavior
• ICS
• Apparatus driving
• Fitness and rehab

Question 2

Mastery: definition

Answer 2

Concept that an individual can achieve 90% of an objective 90% of the time.

Question 3

7 step process to analyze and predict building collapse

Answer 3

1. Classify the type of construction
2. Determine the degree of fire involvement
3. Visualize load imposition and load resistance
4. Evaluate time as a factor
   
   1. Lighter structure = faster it will fall
   2. Heavier load = faster it will fall
   3. Wet steel buys time
   4. Gravity and time are constant, resistance is not
5. Dtermine the weakest link (trusses, connections, overloading)
6. Predict the collapse sequence
7. Proclaim the collapse zones

Question 4

Ergonomics: 3 aspects, 3 mitigations

Answer 4

• Physical environment (footing, noise, weather)
• Relationship of worker to environment (pulling, twisting, pushing, bent, speed)
• Task (focus, stress, choreography)
• Awareness
• Accomodation (alter environment or task)
• Acclimation (PF, hydrate)

Question 5

Nutrition: best balance for quick energy

Answer 5

30/30/40 (protein, fat, carbs)

Question 6

3 ways of classifying fire

Answer 6

• Stable/predictable
• Rapidly changing/predictable
• Unpredictable

Question 7

4 general building construction topics to predict building behavior during a fire

Answer 7

• Imposition and resistance of loads
• Characteristics of building materials
• Building assembly components (trusses)
• General construction classifications
• (Effects of fire)

Question 8

   2. Stable-might change
   3. Unstable-changing
   4. Unstable-rapidly changing
3. Define effects of surrounding elements
