2. Are agents within the work environment such as radiation, electricity, and noise
3. Include factors associated with one's job that potentiate stress
4. Include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites

2. Use nurses as their source of information and leadership
3. Rely on the power of local officials
4. Include a variety of disciplines
