Q1According to the waste hierarchy, which option should be prioritised FIRST when managing construction waste?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Prevention of waste generation
The waste hierarchy prioritises prevention as the first and most preferred option, followed by preparing for reuse, recycling, other recovery, and finally disposal as the least preferred option.
Q2A site manager discovers an oil spill from a generator near a surface water drain. What is the MOST immediate action required?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Contain the spill using absorbent materials and block the drain
Preventing pollution from entering watercourses is the immediate priority. Containment stops the spread and protects the environment from contamination, which must be done before cleanup or reporting.
Q3Under duty of care requirements for waste, what information MUST accompany every transfer of construction waste?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: A written waste transfer note
The duty of care regulations require a waste transfer note to accompany all waste transfers. This document records details of the waste, parties involved, and ensures traceability throughout the waste chain.
Q4During excavation works, a site operative discovers what appears to be archaeological artifacts. What is the correct immediate response?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Stop work in the area and notify the client immediately
When potential archaeological finds are discovered, work in that area must stop immediately to prevent damage to artifacts. The client and relevant archaeological authorities must then be notified as per planning conditions.
Q5What is the PRIMARY purpose of implementing dust suppression measures such as water sprays during demolition activities?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: To prevent dust becoming airborne and affecting air quality
Water suppression during demolition controls airborne dust particles at source, preventing them from becoming airborne and affecting air quality. This protects workers and the surrounding community from respiratory hazards.
Q6Which control measure is MOST effective for reducing carbon emissions from construction site transport operations?
Show answer
✓ Correct answer: Consolidating deliveries to reduce vehicle movements
Consolidating deliveries reduces the number of vehicle movements to and from site, directly cutting fuel consumption and associated carbon emissions. This is a highly effective emission reduction strategy.
