Health and Safety Renewable Energy

How is solar energy harnessed and converted into usable energy?

• Through solar panels converting sunlight into electricity
• By burning fossil fuels
• By using nuclear fusion
• By harnessing geothermal energy

How are wind power (wind farms) sources of energy harnessed and converted into usable energy?

• By using tidal waves to generate electricity
• Through the rotation of wind turbines generating electricity
• By burning coal
• By harnessing geothermal energy

What is the likely industrial cause of water emissions?

• Noise pollution
• Water pollution

How is hydroelectric energy (reservoirs) harnessed and converted into usable energy?

• By harnessing the power of water flow to generate electricity
• By burning natural gas
• Through the use of solar panels
• By harnessing geothermal energy

What is the procedure for safe disposal of oils such as cutting oil and sump oil?

• Pour them down the drain
• Dispose of them in specially designated oil waste containers
• Burn them in an open fire
• Release them into the environment

What is a likely industrial cause of noise emissions?

• Air pollution

How is waste end energy-producing incineration harnessed and converted into usable energy?

• Through the burning of waste materials to generate heat and electricity
• By burying waste in landfills
• By composting organic waste
• By harnessing wind power

What action is required in the event of accidental spillage/release of substances?

• Ignore it and continue working
• Report it to a supervisor and follow the correct clean-up procedures
• Leave it for someone else to clean up
• Pretend it didn't happen

How is tidal energy harnessed and converted into usable energy?
