Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)  \nWhich of the following items is **mandatory** for every welder when working with SMAW or oxy\u2011fuel?\n\nA. Welding helmet with a shade number of 10  \nB. Flame\u2011resistant jacket, gloves, and safety glasses  \nC. Earplugs and a face mask  \nD. Steel\u2011toe boots and a hard hat  \n\n**2. Shade Numbers \u2013 SMAW**  \nWhat shade number is appropriate for a 200\u2011amp SMAW arc?\n\nA. 5  \nB. 8  \nC. 12  \nD. 15  \n\n**3. Ventilation & Fumes**  \nWhy is adequate ventilation essential when welding?\n\nA. It keeps the work area cooler.  \nB. It prevents the build\u2011up of harmful fumes and gases.  \nC. It reduces the risk of electric shock.  \nD. It improves the quality of the weld.  \n\n**4. Fire Watch \u2013 True/False**  \nA fire watch is only required after the welding job is finished.\n\n**5. Cylinder Handling \u2013 True/False**  \nOxy\u2011fuel cylinders should always be stored upright and secured to prevent tipping.\n\n**6. Electrical Hazards \u2013 Multiple Choice**  \nWhich of the following is a common electrical hazard in welding?\n\nA. Over\u2011pressurizing the gas cylinder  \nB. Using a damaged welding cable  \nC. Failing to ground the welding machine  \nD. Both B and C  \n\n**7. PPE \u2013 True/False**  \nWelding gloves should be worn on **both** hands during SMAW and oxy\u2011fuel welding.\n\n**8. Shade Numbers \u2013 True/False**  \nShade number 10 is suitable for welding at 30 amps.\n\n**9. Ventilation \u2013 Multiple Choice**  \nWhich ventilation method is most effective for oxy\u2011fuel welding in a confined space?\n\nA. Natural ventilation (open windows)  \nB. Mechanical exhaust hood with a minimum of 50\u202fCFM  \nC. Fan blowing air toward the welder  \nD. None of the above  \n\n**10. Cylinder Handling \u2013 Multiple Choice**  \nWhat is the correct procedure for connecting an oxy\u2011fuel cylinder to a torch?\n\nA. Attach the regulator, then the hose, and finally the torch.  \nB. Attach the hose, then the regulator, and finally the torch.  \nC. Attach the torch, then the hose, and finally the regulator.  \nD. Attach the regulator, then the torch, and finally the hose.  \n\n---\n\n## Answer Key & Brief Explanations\n\n| # | Correct Answer | Explanation |\n|---|----------------|-------------|\n| 1 | **B** | Flame\u2011resistant jacket, gloves, and safety glasses are required for all welding tasks to protect against heat, sparks, and UV radiation. |\n| 2 | **C** | Shade 12 is the standard for 200\u2011amp SMAW arcs; lower numbers are too light, higher numbers too dark. |\n| 3 | **B** | Ventilation removes harmful fumes (e.g., CO, metal oxides) and prevents inhalation hazards. |\n| 4 | **F** | A fire watch must be present **during** welding and for a period afterward to monitor for hidden embers. |\n| 5 | **T** | Upright, secured cylinders prevent accidental tipping and potential gas leaks. |\n| 6 | **D** | Both a damaged cable and lack of grounding can cause electric shock or arc flash. |\n| 7 | **T** | Gloves protect both hands from heat, sparks, and chemical exposure. |\n| 8 | **F** | Shade 10 is too light for 30\u2011amp arcs; shade 12 or 14 is recommended. |\n| 9 | **B** | A mechanical exhaust hood with \u226550\u202fCFM effectively captures fumes in confined spaces. |\n|10 | **A** | Attach regulator first to control pressure, then hose, then torch to ensure a secure, leak\u2011free connection. |\n\n---\n\n**Teacher\u2019s Note:**  \nFeel free to adapt the wording or add more context to each question.
