Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1. A potential health and safety hazard in a modern office building can be the air quality. Many modern office buildings have windows that cannot be opened and the air quality is dependent upon the cleanliness and quality of the ventilation system. Issues such as the number of air exchanges per minute and how often fresh air is taken into the system can impact the overall health of employees in the building. Poor air quality due to mold and inadequate fresh air intake can pose a health hazard. Outside noise level is not necessarily a health hazard unless the noise levels exceed safe standards. Injuries sustained from weekend activities can impact work performance, but may not be a priority of the nurse. The distance that employees walk can possibly pose a health or safety hazard if there are obstacles present, but this is not indicated.
