Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
New workers with less than 1 year of experience on the current job are at the greatest risk for experiencing work-related accidents with subsequent injuries. The highest percentages were in mining; agriculture, forestry, and fishing; construction; and wholesale and retail trade.

Answer to Question 2

The worker's family is considered a part of the host factor. Crowding and shift work are envi-ronmental factors, and chemical exposure is the agent factor.
