What role do health care providers play in preventing workplace injuries?

  1. Providing legal advice to injured workers

  2. Designing industrial equipment

  3. Offering discounts on health insurance

  4. Providing patients with information on injury prevention

The correct answer is: Providing patients with information on injury prevention

Health care providers play a crucial role in preventing workplace injuries by providing patients with information on injury prevention. This includes educating patients on proper safety measures and techniques, as well as identifying potential hazards in their work environment. It is not within their role to provide legal advice to injured workers (option A) as that falls under the purview of legal professionals. They also do not design industrial equipment (option B) as this is typically done by engineers. While some health insurance plans may offer discounts or incentives for workplace safety programs (option C), it is not the primary role of health care providers to do so. Their main focus is on patient care and preventing injuries through education and prevention techniques.
