Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B, C, D

All answers are correct. Each of these areas can create safety hazards for people in the workplace, and so in many countries government legislation has been passed to make these topics subject to regulation.

For example, within the UK, it is mandatory for employers to provide compulsory training for em-ployees who may be involved in lifting heavy items, and there are limits placed on the weight which can be handled by any one person. In many cases, mechanised lifting equipment is used to aid or replace humans.

You're right, Lindsey. Smoking indoors can pose health risks, but it's not typically covered under health and safety legislation.

I'm not sure about D though. Smoking indoors might not be directly related to health and safety regulations.

Haha, I'm surprised they didn't include 'Letting the boss smoke cigars in the conference room' as one of the options. That's a classic health and safety violation!
