Explanation:

First Matching (Strategies to protect workers by removing/replacing hazard or adding protective equipment):

• Explanation: Engineering controls involve modifying the workplace or equipment to eliminate or reduce hazards (like removing a hazard, replacing it, or adding protective gear as part of the work setup).
• So the match is "Engineering".

Second Matching (Involves changes to processes and procedures, e.g., shortening work shifts):

• Explanation: Administrative controls are about changing work practices, policies, or procedures (like adjusting work schedules) to manage risks.
• So the match is "Administrative".

Third Matching (Used to further minimize exposure, e.g., wearing earplugs/earmuffs):

• Explanation: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is gear worn by workers (like earplugs, earmuffs) to reduce exposure to remaining hazards after other controls are in place.
• So the match is "PPE".

1. Strategies used to protect workers by removing or replacing a hazard, or adding protective equipment: Engineering
2. Involves changes to processes and procedures, such as shortening work shifts: Administrative
3. Used to further minimize exposure to a hazard, such as wearing earplugs or earmuffs: PPE
