Occupational and Environmental Health: Recognizing and Preventing Disease and Injury - Multiple Choice Questions - Learn & Prevent

The intended outcome of occupational and environmental hygiene shifting focus from secondary to primary prevention is to eliminate or reduce the source of pollution. This involves addressing the root cause of the problem and implementing strategies to prevent it from occurring in the first place. Options A and D, enhancing end-of-pipe interventions and solely focusing on personal protective equipment use, respectively, do not address the source of pollution and instead focus on mitigating the effects after they have already occurred. Option B, reducing the need for regulatory compliance, may be a secondary outcome of shifting to primary prevention, but it is not the main purpose. The primary goal is to eliminate or reduce the source of pollution.
