OSHA stands for
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
SDS is the acronym for:
Safety Data Sheet
Removal of infectious agents by scrubbing and washing, as with hot water, soap, or a suitable detergent:
cleaning
If OSHA does not have a regulation covering a particular hazard:
the employer must still take steps to keep the employees safe under the general duty clause
T or F
A copy of the regulatory text for the Bloodborne Pathogens Rule must be readily available and accessible to employees at all times.
True
Inhibiting the growth or multiplication of bacteria:
bacteriostatic
T or F
Having, in your prep room, vacuum breakers on the main water line, a suitable water source for the embalming table, a proper drench shower, a proper eye-wash station, a proper hand-washing station, and adequate ventilation are all examples of work
False
Controls that reduce the likelihood of exposure by altering the manner in which a task is performed ( for example not allowing blood spatter or aerosolization of blood while draining during the embalming process)
Work Practice Controls
The specific point at which an 8-hour exposure to formaldehyde is unsafe, and the point at which employers are required to take steps to reduce that exposure before it reaches maximum allowable exposure, is called the:
Time-weighted average (TWA)
OSHA is under the Federal Department of:
Labor
An agent, usually chemical, applied to inanimate objects or surfaces for the purpose of destroying disease-causing microbial agents, but usually not bacterial spores:
disinfectant
A quick drench shower must be provided if:
exposure to formaldehyde is present

destructive to bacteria
bactericidal
Areas to be treated with a topical disinfectant should ideally be _______ first with a good antiseptic soap to remove as much contaminated organic matter as possible.
cleaned

sterilization
T or F
PEL for the STEL is 0.2 ppm
False
T or F
When proteins are decomposed, they break down into amino acids which are reabsorbed back into the bloodstream, where they start to break down the blood and contribute to the awful smell of decomposition
False (cannot be reabsorbed into the body)
T or F
Preservation is the basis for the creation and maintenance of a natural, life-like appearance; that is, without good preservation, good restoration is difficult to accomplish.
