Answer to Question 1

Typically every hazard has several different remedies. Every remedy has a corresponding cost and corresponding benefit. Management is not likely to want to apply 10 solutions to 1 problems. Therefore, it is important to factor in cost when recommending corrective action regarding hazards. This amounts to listing all of the potential remedies along with their respective costs and then estimating the extent to which each will reduce the hazard (its benefit).

Answer to Question 2

A preliminary hazard analysis (PHA) is conducted to identify potential hazards and prioritize them according to the 1) likelihood of an accident or injury being caused by the hazard; and 2) severity of injury, illness, and /or property damage that could result if the hazard caused an accident.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
