7. What is MSDS.
Ans:- Material Safety Data Sheet is the document prepared by the manufacturer giving
product name, producer’s address, emergency contact phone number, information of

Ans:- : Any space having a limited means of access or egress, which subject to the hazards
like deficiency of oxygen, toxic or flammable gases or substances, dust etc.
Oxygen deficiency or enrichment, present of toxic or flammable gases, chemical hazard, fire
hazard, fall of materials, fall hazards, electrocution, dust, sound, heat or cold, caught in
between moving parts of equipments, engulfment, etc.
Ans:- A permit to work is formal written system used to control certain of work which is
potential hazard is called to PTW.

Ans:- Self contained under water breathing apparatus. It can be used under water activity.
Unlike other modes of diving, which rely either on breath-hold or onbreathing gas
pumped from the surface, scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas,
usually compressed air,[2] allowing them greater freedom of movement than with an air
line or diver's umbilicaland longer underwater endurance than breath-hold. Scuba
equipment may be open circuit, in which exhaled gas is expelled to the surroundings, or a
closed or semi-closed circuit rebreather, in which the breathing gas is scrubbed to
remove carbon dioxide, and the oxygenused is replenished from a supply of feed gas before
being re-breathed.
Ans:- Lower Explosive Limit. The minimum concentration of vapour, gasses and dust in air
below which spread of flame does not occur on contact with a source of ignition is called LEL.
The maximum percentage of vapour, gasses and dust in air above which proposal the flame
does not occur on contact with a source of ignition is called UEL.
