Q1: Pick up the incorrect statement from the following for allowing workers to enter sewers

A The particular manhole and one manhole on up stream and one manhole on down stream should remain open for 30 minutes

B Proper tests for the presence of poisonous gases must be carried out

C The men entering the manhole should be advised to smoke in the sewer

D Warning signals should be erected

E None of these.

ANS:C - The men entering the manhole should be advised to smoke in the sewer

"The men entering the manhole should be advised to smoke in the sewer." Advising workers to smoke in the sewer is highly dangerous and inappropriate. Smoking in confined spaces like sewers can lead to the ignition of flammable gases or vapors, causing fires or explosions. Additionally, it poses a significant health risk to the workers due to exposure to toxic gases and substances present in the sewer environment. Therefore, advising workers to smoke in the sewer is not a safe practice and should never be recommended. The other statements listed are all important safety measures for allowing workers to enter sewers, including proper ventilation, testing for poisonous gases, erecting warning signals, and ensuring the availability of emergency rescue equipment.
