70% to pass

Which of the following is a safety consideration when dealing with Liquefied Gas?

A it's carcogenic
B it's caustic
C it's cold
D it's corrosive
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) it's cold. Liquefied gas, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is extremely cold, typically around -260°F (-162°C). This extreme cold temperature is a major safety consideration when handling liquefied gas. The cold temperature can cause frostbite and severe damage to the skin upon contact. Additionally, the cold temperature can make the gas more susceptible to brittle fracture in equipment and pipelines, increasing the risk of leaks or ruptures. The other answer choices (A, B, and D) are not primary safety concerns for liquefied gas, as it is not inherently carcinogenic, caustic, or corrosive.
