Answer to Question 1

D
A variety of safeguards and standards exist to aid in the prevention of workplace injury and occupational hazards. Some of these measures that relate to environmental agents include: 1) be aware of bioterrorist alert plans, 2) develop a violence reduction plan, 3) rotate shifts clockwise (day to night), 4) assess for dangerous chemicals in your workplace, and 5) determine whether Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) standards are in place. Using personal protection equipment is an example of a safeguard for infectious agents. Assessing the workplace for the amount of noise is an example of a physical agent safeguard, and developing standards of care for handling hazardous agents is an example of a chemical safeguard.
