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 workplace inspections to identify safety issues. Since the mistake (chemical mixing causing toxic gas release) has happened repeatedly, inspecting the workplace to assess the cause is the logical first step. Providing training or keeping standards as is doesn't address identifying the root cause, and health research is not OSHA's primary response here.

Answer:

D. Inspect the workplace to assess how this happened.
