What is a strategy mentioned for the prevention of workplace injuries and WMSDs?

  1. Avoiding hiring new employees

  2. Eliminating night shifts

  3. Developing and applying science-based prevention strategies

  4. Decreasing wages to fund safety programs

The correct answer is: Developing and applying science-based prevention strategies

Developing and applying science-based prevention strategies is the most effective and widely recommended strategy for preventing workplace injuries and work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). This option promotes a proactive approach to workplace safety by using evidence-based methods and techniques. The other options are not effective or practical strategies for preventing injuries. Avoiding hiring new employees can result in understaffing and overworking current employees, thus increasing the risk of injuries. Eliminating night shifts may not be possible for certain industries or businesses, and it does not address overall workplace safety. Decreasing wages to fund safety programs is not a viable solution and can lead to employee dissatisfaction and turnover.
