What is the best solution to a hazard present on a job site?

Report the hazard to a supervisor
Temporary fixes until the project is complete
Eliminate the hazard
Provide protective equipment

The correct answer is: Eliminate the hazard

Eliminating the hazard is considered the best solution because it addresses the issue at its source, removing the danger from the workplace entirely. This approach aligns with the principles of safety management that prioritize hazard control. Simply reporting the hazard or implementing temporary fixes does not resolve the underlying issue, leaving workers exposed to potential risks. While providing protective equipment can help mitigate the risk, it does not eliminate the hazard itself. Effective safety practices aim to create a safer work environment by removing dangers rather than merely managing or covering them up.
