Practice question

Which statement about remote shutoffs is NOT a proper characteristic?

  1. They require a specialized permit to operate
  2. They are well marked and in easy to find locations
  3. They are near the entrance in fixed facilities
  4. They are at the valve controls or behind the driver's door in vehicles

Answer: A — They require a specialized permit to operate

During an emergency, remote shutoffs must be immediately accessible and unmistakable so they can be activated without delay. They’re placed and marked for quick identification: near facility entrances in fixed installations, at the valve controls, or behind the driver’s door in vehicles. They are not tied to a permit requirement; no special permit is needed to operate them, since the goal is rapid shutdown to minimize danger.
