the ashtray should be emptied into a wastebasket.
the ashtray should be emptied into a plastic container.
the ashtray should be emptied into a metal container that has sand or water.
the ashtray should be emptied only after the client is done smoking for the day.

Explanation:

First Question (Sam's WHMIS duties)

Under WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System), workers' duties include participating in training, protecting themselves and others, and identifying/controlling hazards. So all the listed duties are part of Sam's responsibilities.

To safely empty an ashtray (to prevent fire from hot ashes), it should be emptied into a metal container with sand or water (which can extinguish any embers). Emptying into wastebasket or plastic container is unsafe (fire risk), and waiting till end of day isn't a safety - based correct practice.

Answer:

D. All of the above.
