Example certificate exam practice questions (food safety, CPR and safety data)
What is the temperature range known as the food safety danger zone?41°F to 135°F (5°C to 57°C), because bacteria multiply fastest in this range.
What compression rate is recommended during adult CPR?100 to 120 compressions per minute, the range the AHA guidelines call for to keep blood flowing.
How deep should adult chest compressions be during CPR?At least 2 inches (5 cm) and no more than 2.4 inches (6 cm), because shallower compressions do not move enough blood.
How many sections does a safety data sheet in GHS format contain?16 sections, so hazard and handling information appears in a consistent order across chemicals.
How long should you wash your hands to kill most germs effectively?At least 20 seconds with soap and water, the time FDA guidance gives for effective handwashing.
