Which health outcome is the National Occupational Respiratory Mortality System (NORMS) concerned with?

  1. Cardiovascular diseases

  2. Respiratory disorders

  3. Musculoskeletal disorders

  4. Neurological conditions

The correct answer is: Respiratory disorders

NORMS is specifically concerned with health outcomes related to respiratory disorders for individuals who are exposed to hazardous substances in their workplace. While cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, and neurological conditions may also be occupational health concerns, NORMS focuses specifically on respiratory disorders and collects data to track and prevent these conditions in the workplace. Therefore, B is the correct option as it aligns with the purpose and focus of NORMS, making A, C, and D incorrect choices.
