Ignoring oncoming traffic when opening doors, cabinets, or drawers can lead to collisions and accidents. Therefore, all of these actions have the potential to result in workplace injury.Rate this question:

Microwave or conventional oven? Which uses less energy to heat food?
-
Microwave oven
-
Conventional oven
-
No difference, they use the same amount of energy
Correct Answer
A. Microwave ovenExplanation
Typically though, a microwave oven uses less energy to heat food than conventional ovens or equivalent, because it works faster and more of the energy is focused directly on the food, versus heating containers or surrounding air. The Energy Star programme (by US Environmental Protection Agency) estimates that cooking or re-heating small portions of food in the microwave oven saves as much as 80% of the energy in comparison with a conventional oven.Rate this question:

Do you know that our Singapore offices and properties has changed the printing paper supply to FSC MIX paper (when current stock of copier paper is depleted)? FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council certified paper, which is recognized as the world’s most comprehensive certification for responsible forest management. Let’s see how much you understand about FSC certified paper. For more information, please visit FSC website: https://ic.fsc.org/index.htm For more information, please visit FSC website: https://ic.fsc.org/index.htmWhich of the following statement is CORRECT regarding FSC certified paper?
-
All FSC paper is made from 100% recycled material.
-
FSC paper is made from sustainably managed sources, e.g. no illegal logging
-
FSC paper has a high carbon footprint
-
FSC paper can be recycled infinitely
Correct Answer
A. FSC paper is made from sustainably managed sources, e.g. no illegal loggingExplanation
When you see FCS paper products, you can be assured that all trees harvested in the making of the FSC paper, are replaced or allowed to regenerate naturally.Rate this question:

Note that 1/3 of all trees harvested have been turned into paper products. Watch the short video for more information regarding the importance of reducing paper wastage. How much saving can we achieve from total paper consumption if we reduce font size by 1 point before printing?
-
14%
-
16%
-
18%
-
20%
Correct Answer
A. 18%Explanation
Reducing the font size by 1 point before printing can lead to a 18% saving in total paper consumption. This means that by making the font size smaller, less space is needed to print the same amount of text on a page, resulting in less paper being used. This reduction in paper usage contributes to overall savings in paper consumption.Rate this question:

Everyone has a role to play in protecting the environment. Below are some accurate tips to go green in office environment, EXCEPT
-
Avoid colour printing as it uses more ink
-
Set screensaver to conserve energy
-
Always turn off the lights when you leave the meeting room
-
Lower your monitor’s brightness (within your comfort limits) as the brightest setting consumes twice as much power as the dimmest setting
Correct Answer
A. Set screensaver to conserve energyExplanation
Setting a screensaver does not actually conserve energy. Screensavers were originally designed to prevent burn-in on older cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors, but they are not necessary for modern LCD or LED monitors. In fact, screensavers can actually use more energy as they keep the monitor running instead of allowing it to enter sleep mode or turn off completely. It is more energy-efficient to manually turn off the monitor or set it to automatically sleep or turn off after a certain period of inactivity.Rate this question:

Do you know that by putting the wrong waste into the recycling bins contaminates the recycled waste collected and renders them non-recyclable. and has to be incinerated. Which of the following items should NOT be thrown into recycling bin? (Multiple answers required)
-
Laminated and glossy papers e.g. magazines, brochures, etc
-
Plastic yogurt tubs and bubble tea plastic cups after being rinsed
-
Vending machine cups
-
Sticky notes
-
Tissue paper/kitchen towel
Correct Answer(s)
A. Vending machine cups
A. Tissue paper/kitchen towelExplanation
The reason why vending machine cups cannot be recycled is because they are coated with paraffin wax, which is a petroleum based product. Water is used in the paper recycling process, and the presence of oil will contaminate the recycling process.
Tissue paper/kitchen towel cannot be recycled the way other paper products are because the fibers usually are too short to be used again. Tissue paper/kitchen towel are generally made from recycled paper and it gets shorter with each reuse. Papermaking fibers can typically be recycled five to seven times before they become too short to be recycled again, and tissue paper/kitchen towel are the last stop in the recycling chain.Rate this question:
