Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The Hazard Communication Standard requires that all worksites with hazardous substances in-ventory their toxic agents, label them, and provide information sheets, called MSDSs, for each agent. Hand soap is a toxic agent. Eye goggles, aprons, and earplugs are not toxic agents and therefore, do not need an MSDS.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The occupational health nurse is a key player in occupational disasters. The goals of a disaster plan are to prevent or minimize injuries and deaths of workers and residents, minimize property damage, provide effective triage, and facilitate necessary business activities. A disaster plan re-quires the cooperation of different personnel within the company and community. There are not Medical Data Sheets rather MSDSs.
