Thermo is a plastic supply and custom fabrication company. Thermo serves clients in the medical, solar, and semiconductor industries by making acrylic and polycarbonate sheets, tubes, and rods.
 
  The company employs approximately 500 workers at its facility in Ohio. Safety is a top priority at Thermo, and supervisors are required to conduct daily inspections of all equipment. Recently, three workers were seriously injured by a large press used to mold plastic parts. The workers spent time in the hospital for hand injuries, and they are currently recuperating at home. As a result, top management is evaluating all aspects of safety at the facility to determine what changes need to be made.
 
  Which of the following, if true, supports the argument that Thermo needs to modify its screening, placement, and training procedures?
  A) Interviews with the on-duty supervisor indicate that signs were clearly posted near the accident site explaining the importance of using protective guards.
  B) Supervisors use a combination of recognition and monetary incentives to encourage employees to follow safety procedures.
  C) Interviews with the injured workers indicate that the most experienced worker removed the safety guard and the other two workers did not know how to respond.
  D) Noise emitted from the press and the heat in the Thermo facility is considered distracting and potentially dangerous.
