true

Explanation:

• Question 6: When there is a water leak on the floor (a potential hazard), putting a hazard sign is the immediate action to prevent injury as it warns others. Ignoring the water or just notifying without warning is not immediate prevention.
• Question 7: Repairing devices or equipment is an organization - centered approach as it focuses on the organization's infrastructure. Ambulating with an assistive device and providing a smoke apron are individual - centered. Educating an individual is also individual - centered.
• Question 8: By definition, an accident is an unexpected or unintentional incident that can lead to injury or illness.

Answer:

• 6. Put a hazard sign over the water.
• 7. Repairing devices or equipment.
• 8. TRUE.
