5. What procedures do you need to follow in the workplace for reporting environmental damage and breaches? Reporting environmental damage and breaches should be outlined in the organisation’s Environmental Management Plan (EMP) or a similar document. The procedures can vary depending on the workplace and the nature of the incident. Generally the following steps are involved: Immediate response. Notify supervisor or manager. Follow EMP. Contact Relevant Authorities Document incident 6. What procedures and processes can an automotive workshop implement that will support environmental sustainability practices with regards to the following: o Reducing waste o Reusing material o Recycling waste Give one example for each and insert your answers in the table below: Waste management Example of procedure or process Reducing waste Implement a waste segregation system to separate different types of waste, making recycling easier. Reusing material Reuse packaging material for incoming parts or materials, reducing theed for new packaging. Recycling waste Partner with recycling services to properly dispose of hazardous materials like used oils and fluids. 7. The following are different types of waste that is produced by the automotive industry: o Coolant and oils o General rubbish Explain what the impact is if these are released into the environment in the table below. Waste product Impact on the environment Coolants and oils Contamination of the soil and water bodies, harming aquatic life. General rubbish Can contribute to land pollution and harm local ecosystem. /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/08/09/0809f3bfc6ce04ad3e94c73d2d5ea79b4aeba75b.docx

8. Noise is another environmental problem in the automotive industry. Explain the effect noise has on the environment. Can disturb local communities, wildlife, and ecosystems. Leading to noise pollution. 9. What impact does the following types of waste have on the environment and how should it be disposed of? o Cleaning material: might contain toxic chemicals. Should be disposed as hazardous waste. o Paper waste: paper waste can contribute to deforestation. Should be disposed as paper recycling. o General rubbish: can contribute to land pollution. Should be properly disposed as general rubbish. 10. What are the automotive workplace procedures for sorting and storing the items listed in the spreadsheet below? Can these be recycled or need to be disposed of? Item Storage and disposal procedure Recyclable? Yes or No Tyres Stack and store to prevent water accumulation. Yes Batteries Store upright and separate from other materials. Yes Oil filters Drain and store in designated area for recycling. Yes Coolant Store in a sealed container and recycle. Yes Cardboard/Paper Store in a designated recycling bin. Yes General waste Dispose in a general waste bin. No Plastic Separate and store for recycling. Yes Oil Store in designed containers for recycling. Yes 11. List examples of procedures that can reduce the consumption of the following resources: o Water o Electricity /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/08/09/0809f3bfc6ce04ad3e94c73d2d5ea79b4aeba75b.docx

o Fuel o Chemicals Give one example for each and write your answers in the table below. Resources Procedure for reducing consumption Water fixing leaks and using efficient cleaning methods. Electricity turning off the lights and equipment when not in use. Fuel Regular maintenance of vehicles to ensure efficiency Chemicals Using eco-friendly products and minimizing chemical usage. 12. List five (5) examples of methods used to capture and contain coolants, oils and other fluid spills from vehicles.  Spill containment berms.  Drain covers.  Portable spill kits  Secondary containment systems.  Absorbent materials. 13. There are two (2) different kind of spills kits, Hazchem spill kits and Hydrocarbon spill kits. Explain who uses them, what they are used for and what they usually contain. Insert your information in the table below. Kit Used by Used for Five (5) examples of what they contain Hazchem Spill Kit Personal handling (In workshops, warehouses, chemical manufacturers, etc.) Used when a dangerous chemical spills or leaks in your workplace. ChemSorb Absorbent, Hazchem grade land socks, absorbent mats, PPE, and anti-static waste disposal bags with ties. Hydrocarbon Spill Kit Normally used by machinery operators and mobile technicians. Suitable for fuel, oil, petroleum, cooking oils and messy fluid spills. Oil absorbent pads, absorbent booms, contaminated waste bags and ties, oil resistant gloves, weather resistant bin cap. 14. Explain what a bunding is and list three examples (3) of how a bund can be designed.  It is a barrier to contain spills and prevent it from spreading.  Earth bunds /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/08/09/0809f3bfc6ce04ad3e94c73d2d5ea79b4aeba75b.docx

 Concrete bunds  Steel bunds 15. Explain how a grease trap works. A grease traps captures and separates grease and oils from wastewater to prevent them from entering the sewer system. It uses a combination of baffles and gravity to trap the grease, allowing clean water to flow out. 16. What is a triple inceptor? Is a type of drainage system that captures and separates water, grease and sediment from wastewater before it enters the main drainage system. 17. What are common causes of air pollutants, such as airborne particles emission, gases, and fumes in the automotive industry? List five (5).  Exhaust emissions.  Evaporative emissions.  Dust and particulate matter.  Solvent use.  Paint fumes. 18. List five (5) examples of how the air pollution you listed in Q17 can be managed.  Installing emission control devices on vehicles.  Using low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints and solvents.  Regular maintenance  Using dust collections systems  Implementing proper exhaust vent systems 19. List three (3) examples of control measure that can contain and redirect airborne particles, gases and fumes and explain how they work.  Exhaust ventilation system How it works: fans, ducts, and hoods strategically placed to capture and remove airborne contaminants. Commonly used to capture harmful fumes produced by vehicle exhaust. Vehicle tailpipes are connected to an extraction hood, and a powerful fan draw the fumes away from the workspace into the ventilation system. The contaminated air is filtered or expelled outside.  Fume extraction arms How it works: Flexible, articulated arms equipped with hoods. These arms can be positioned close to the source of fumes or gases to capture them directly. The captured contaminants are drawn through the arm’s flexible tube, which is connected to a central extraction system or a filtration unit. /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/08/09/0809f3bfc6ce04ad3e94c73d2d5ea79b4aeba75b.docx

 Dust collection systems: How it works: Uses a combination of fans, ductwork, and filters to capture and contain airborne particles and dust generated during the automotive processes, such as sanding, grinding, or cutting. A network of ducts collects the dust at its source and transports it to a central collection unit. Inside the collection unit, the dust passes through a series of filters, which separate and capture the particles. Cleaned air is then recirculated into the workshop, while the collected dust stored for safe disposal or recycling. 20. One of the neighbours next to your automotive workshop is complaining about noise from your compressor. What can you do to insulate the noise? List three (3) examples.  Installing soundproofing materials around the compressor.  Building an enclosure or barrier around the compressor.  Placing the compressor in a separate, insulated room. /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/08/09/0809f3bfc6ce04ad3e94c73d2d5ea79b4aeba75b.docx
