Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A number of host factors appear to be associated with this hypersusceptibility: light skin, malnu-trition, compromised immune system, glucose-6-phosphae dehydrogenase deficiency, serum al-pha1-antritrypsin deficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sickle cell trait, and hyper-tension. A worker who has a health reaction to safe low-level exposures is experiencing hyper-susceptibility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Mine Safety and Health Act was enacted in 1968. It was the first legislation that specifically required certain prevention programs for workers. The Occupational Safety and Health Act es-tablished OSHA and NIOSH to carry out the Act's purpose of ensuring safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women. NIOSH examines potential hazards of new work technologies and practices. The SIC Code did not require certain protection programs for workers.
