Question 49Safety & Environmental - QMED
70% to passWhich health hazard term is listed on a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to indicate that contact with the substance will freeze body tissue on contact?
ACryogenic
BFreeze hazard
CCyanosis
DFreon hazard
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Cryogenic. The term "cryogenic" on a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) indicates that the substance has the potential to cause frostbite or freeze body tissue on contact. This is because cryogenic substances are materials that are maintained at extremely low temperatures, often below -150°C (-238°F), which can rapidly freeze human tissue upon exposure. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) "Freeze hazard" is not a standard term used on MSDSs. C) "Cyanosis" refers to a bluish discoloration of the skin due to lack of oxygen, not freezing of tissue. D) "Freon hazard" is not a standard term, and Freon is a refrigerant, not necessarily a cryogenic substance.
