Capitaland Environmental, Health And Safety (Ehs) Quiz 2014

All of the office activities mentioned in options 1, 2, 3, and 4 have negative impacts on the environment. Printing contributes to deforestation, soaping cups with the water tap running leads to resource depletion, turning on lights and charging devices also depletes resources, and throwing recyclable plastics into the normal waste bin causes land pollution. Therefore, all of these activities have an impact on the environment.

All of the options mentioned in the question can be fire hazards in the workplace. Reheating or cooking food in its packaging using the microwave or oven can cause the packaging to catch fire. Leaving discarded items around and blocking passageways and fire exits can hinder evacuation in case of a fire. Overloading extension cords and power plugs can lead to overheating and electrical fires. Therefore, all of these options can potentially pose a fire hazard in the workplace.

Some tips to adopt a physically active life:

During an event of a fire, it is NOT advisable to re-enter the building to rescue your colleagues. This is because it can put your own life at risk and hinder the work of firefighters or emergency response teams. It is important to prioritize your own safety and follow the guidance of professionals.

CapitaHub incorporates all of the mentioned green features. The follow-me-print feature reduces paper wastage by only printing when necessary. The installation of light and motion sensors in meeting rooms and walkways helps conserve energy by automatically turning off lights when not in use. Potted plants and greenery are present in the office to enhance indoor air quality and create a better working environment. Recycling bins for paper, plastic, and metal promote waste reduction and encourage recycling. Therefore, all of the mentioned green features can be found in CapitaHub.

If you witness a colleague receiving an electric shock and passing out, the correct response would be to first insulate yourself from the ground by wearing shoes with rubber soles or finding a rubber mat. Then, you should identify a non-conductive object, such as a plastic ruler, to turn off the switch. Next, you should call 995 for an ambulance to provide medical assistance. Finally, you should contact the first-aider and administer first aid if you are trained. This combination of actions ensures your safety, stops the electrical contact, and seeks professional medical help.

The correct order to operate a fire extinguisher is as follows: first, pull the safety ring (step 2), then aim at the source of fire (step 4), next squeeze the lever (step 3), and finally sweep left-right-left motion (step 1). This sequence ensures that the fire extinguisher is ready for use, aimed accurately at the fire, and operated effectively to extinguish the flames.

All of the options listed could potentially result in workplace injury. Using the facility when a safety sign is displayed can lead to accidents if the area is not safe. Texting while walking can cause individuals to not pay attention to their surroundings and potentially trip or collide with objects. Flicking water on the floor after washing hands can create a slippery surface and increase the risk of slipping. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Upon hearing the fire alarm and the instruction to evacuate, the correct actions to take are to leave the building in a calm and orderly manner, help any colleagues who may need assistance due to pregnancy or incapacitation, and guide guests or visitors to immediately evacuate to the assembly point. Taking a fire extinguisher and attempting to put out the fire at different levels is not recommended as it can be dangerous and may hinder the evacuation process. Taking the elevator is also not advised as it can be unsafe during a fire emergency.

Some tips after dialing 995:

To facilitate a faster response to the patient, you should do the following:

1. Identify yourself and provide a telephone contact number
2. Provide specific location of the patient
3. Send somebody to wait for ambulance crew (directing the ambulance crew to the patient)

Remember to stay calm because your rational actions might just save the patient’s life!

To conserve resources in the workplace, it is important to recycle papers by using the appropriate bins or shredder. This helps to reduce waste and promote sustainability. Additionally, reporting any water leaks to the relevant personnel ensures that resources are not wasted and helps to maintain a safe working environment. Storing documents and archives electronically also contributes to resource conservation by reducing the need for physical paper and storage space.
