1. Give at least 2 Occupational Safety and Safety Standard:

a. RULE 1180: INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
1181: Definitions
(1) “Internal Combustion Engine” can be a two or four stroke cycle piston engine wherein heat
energy is developed by burning then fuel mixture (gas, diesel, oil, etc.) inside the combustion
chamber which in turn produces mechanical energy in the form of reciprocating and rotating
forces of expanding gases during combustion to drive a piston, shaft or propeller. Diesel
engine is the principal internal combustion engine for stationary power plant.
(2) “Horsepower” (hp) is the amount of energy or work required to raise, create or force a
weight of 33,000 pounds to a height or distance of one-foot in one-minute time; a standard
unit of power equivalent to 746 watts or 746 joules/second.

b. RULE 1170: UNIFIED PRESSURE VESSELS

1171: Definitions
(1) “Unfired pressure vessels” shall mean any closed vessel other than a boiler constructed to
hold steam, hot water, gas or air, ordinarily supplied from an external source or from the
indirect application of heat. This definition shall not include portable cylinders for the
storage of compressed gases.
(2) “Steam heated pressure vessels” shall mean an airtight vessel or an open pan or kettle,
which is steam jacketed or equipped with steam coil or steam supply piping and is used in
such operations as cooking, distilling, drying, evaporating and hardening.
(3) “Water pressure tank” “ shall mean a pressure vessel used for heating water by means of live
steam or steam coil, or for the storage of cold water to be dispersed by means of pressure.
(4) “Air pressure tank” shall mean a pressure vessel used as primary and secondary tank in
connection with ordinary compression cycles, and receiving its air supply direct from the
compressor.
(5) “Refrigeration tank” shall mean a pressure vessel used in refrigeration system, excluding
the piping of such system.
(6) “Working pressure” shall mean a gauge pressure or pressure above the atmospheric pressure
in kg./cm2g (psig.).

2. What is the average resistance of a person?

a. Under dry conditions, the resistance offered by the human body may be as high
as 100,000 Ohms. Wet or broken skin may drop the body's resistance to 1,000
Ohms," adding that "high-voltage electrical energy quickly breaks down human
skin, reducing the human body's resistance to 500 Ohms. (National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health)

3. What is the minimum value of current that will be lethal for a person absorbing it?
a. In general, for limb-contact electrical shocks, accepted rules of thumb are: 1-5 mA
is the level of perception; 10 mA is the level where pain is sensed; at 100 mA
severe muscular contraction occurs, and at 100-300 mA electrocution occurs.
