Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) Practice Exam

An employee gets oven cleaner on their hands. The material safety data sheet for the cleaner will provide information that will help the employee determine:

1. What chemicals are in the cleaner

2. What exposure hazards exist

3. How to properly dispose of the cleaner

4. When the cleaner was manufactured

The correct answer is: What exposure hazards exist

The correct answer is B. The material safety data sheet (MSDS) for the oven cleaner will provide information about the potential exposure hazards associated with the cleaner. This includes details about the chemical composition of the cleaner, potential health effects, necessary protective measures, first aid instructions in case of exposure, and proper handling and storage procedures. By consulting the MSDS, the employee can understand the risks associated with the oven cleaner and take appropriate precautions to ensure their safety. Option A is incorrect because while the MSDS will provide information on the chemicals present in the cleaner, its primary focus is on the hazards associated with those chemicals rather than just listing them. Option C is incorrect because the MSDS typically does not provide information on how to dispose of the cleaner. Proper disposal instructions are usually found on the product label or packaging. Option D is incorrect because the manufacturing date of the oven cleaner is not relevant to the immediate concern of understanding and addressing exposure hazards.
