Exactly one answer is correct.

Show solution

Correct answer to question 1005

  • C: A combustible gas reading above 10 percent of the lower explosive limit

Explanation

Cal/OSHA treats a flammable gas, vapor or mist above 10 percent of its lower flammable limit as an atmospheric hazard that makes a space a permit-required confined space. A normal oxygen reading of 20.9 percent and 0 ppm H2S are normal results, not hazards.
