What is the primary purpose of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for a commercial facility?
Answer: Control pollutants in stormwater runoff from the site
A SWPPP identifies potential stormwater pollutants on a site and describes best management practices to prevent their discharge into waterways.
Which greenhouse gas is most associated with refrigerant leaks from HVAC equipment?

A facility's Energy Use Intensity (EUI) is measured in which units?
Answer: BTUs per square foot per year
EUI expresses a building's annual energy consumption per unit of floor area as kBtu per square foot per year, enabling benchmarking across similar buildings.
Under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom), what must be included on chemical container labels?
Answer: Product identifier, hazard pictograms, signal word, and precautionary statements
OSHA HazCom labels must include the product identifier, GHS hazard pictograms, signal word, hazard statements, and precautionary statements.
