What type of protective equipment might be provided to workers to reduce the severity of injuries from falls?

  1. Hard hats

  2. Eye protection

  3. Fall arrest systems

  4. Nonslip safety gloves

The correct answer is: Fall arrest systems

Fall arrest systems are designed to safely stop a worker's fall before they hit the ground, minimizing the severity of potential injuries. Hard hats might protect the head from falling objects, but they would not be effective in preventing or reducing the impact of a fall. Eye protection and nonslip safety gloves may be important for other types of hazards, but they are not specifically intended to reduce injuries from falls. Therefore, C is the best answer.
