Why is it important to consider the environmental impact of controls placed on workplace hazards?

To reduce the carbon footprint of the company
To ensure the safety of the community outside the workplace
To comply with international trade agreements
To enhance the aesthetic appeal of the facility

The correct answer is: To ensure the safety of the community outside the workplace

Considering the environmental impact of controls placed on workplace hazards is important to ensure the safety of the community outside the workplace. While reducing the company's carbon footprint (option A) may have positive environmental effects, it is not the primary reason for considering the environmental impact of controls. Compliance with international trade agreements (option C) is also important but does not directly relate to the safety of the community. Enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the facility (option D) may be a desirable outcome, but it is not as critical as ensuring the safety of those living near the workplace.
