Question 1

Which of the following would you do to calculate a carbon footprint? Select all that apply.



Answer : B, D

Calculating a carbon footprint, per the CIPS L3M6 syllabus, requires robust methods: collecting comprehensive data with transparency about gaps/assumptions (B) and using a consistent measurement approach (D). Option A (untrustworthy auditing) undermines credibility, and option C (ignoring difficult data) invalidates accuracy. CSR emphasizes reliable carbon footprint monitoring.

Question 2

Warehouses and stores have various impacts on the environment. Select all that apply.



Answer : A, B, D, E

The CIPS L3M6 syllabus lists multiple environmental impacts of warehouses: accidents/risks (A) from operations, land take (B) from construction, vibration (D) from equipment, and visual intrusion (E) from aesthetics. Ocean pollution (C) is unrelated to typical warehousing unless near coastal areas, which isn't specified. CSR monitoring tracks these impacts for sustainability.

Question 3

Which of the following warehouse and store impacts on the environment would you be considering with unwanted or excessive sound that can have detrimental effects on human health and environmental quality?



Answer : C

Noise pollution (C) involves excessive sound from warehouse operations affecting health and the environment, a key impact in the CIPS L3M6 syllabus. Accidents/risks (A), land take (B), vibration (D), and visual intrusion (E) are distinct issues. CSR monitoring mitigates noise to enhance community well-being.

Question 4

Which of the following warehouse and store impacts on the environment would you be considering with the importance of the site (e.g., World Heritage) and where and when the viewer is impacted (e.g., at home, at leisure, or when commuting or working), and the frequency of exposure?



Answer : E

Visual intrusion (E) relates to the aesthetic and perceptual impact of warehouses on viewers, considering site significance and exposure frequency, as per the CIPS L3M6 syllabus. Other options---accidents/risks (A), land take (B), noise pollution (C), and vibration (D)---don't align with this focus. CSR monitoring addresses visual impacts on communities.

Question 5

Which of the following warehouse and store impacts on the environment would you be considering by carrying out risk assessments to identify hazards that could potentially cause harm, and putting measures in place to reduce risk?



Answer : A

Accidents/risks (A) involve identifying and mitigating hazards in warehouses, a focus of the CIPS L3M6 syllabus under CSR. Land take (B), noise pollution (C), vibration (D), and visual intrusion (E) are separate impacts not directly tied to risk assessments. CSR ensures safe operations to protect workers and the environment.

Question 6

Which of the following warehouse and store impacts on the environment would you be considering with long-term, regular exposure to HAV leading to vibration white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome?



Answer : D

Vibration (D) from warehouse equipment (e.g., Hand-Arm Vibration, HAV) can cause health issues like vibration white finger, as per the CIPS L3M6 syllabus. Other options---accidents/risks (A), land take (B), noise pollution (C), and visual intrusion (E)---are unrelated to this specific impact. CSR includes monitoring vibration for worker safety and environmental health.

Question 7

Which of the following warehouse and store impacts on the environment would you be considering with the 'taking of land' from suburban areas to be used for warehousing?



Answer : B

Land take (B) refers to converting suburban or natural land for warehousing, an environmental impact highlighted in the CIPS L3M6 syllabus. Accidents/risks (A), noise pollution (C), vibration (D), and visual intrusion (E) are distinct impacts unrelated to land use. CSR monitoring assesses land take to minimize habitat loss.
