Question

a worker mixed chemicals that caused a release of toxic gas. in the past, other workers made the same mistake. which step should the occupational safety and health administration (osha) take in response? provide onsite safety training for workers. keep the same safety standards in place. conduct health research about the exposure. inspect the workplace to assess how this happened.

Explanation:

OSHA's role includes ensuring workplace safety. When a safety - related incident (toxic gas release due to chemical mixing) occurs, the first step is to inspect the workplace. This helps in understanding the root cause (how the mistake of mixing chemicals happened). On - site safety training might be a follow - up step after identifying the problem. Keeping the same safety standards is not appropriate as there was a failure. Conducting health research about exposure is more relevant for long - term health impacts rather than immediate response to the incident - causing event.

Answer:

Inspect the workplace to assess how this happened.
