According to research, who will have the most influence on new oil workers' attitudes about the safety climate on the rig?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: their immediate supervisor. Immediate supervisors have direct interactions with new oil workers, shaping their attitudes the most. They provide guidance, feedback, and support, influencing workers' perception of safety climate. Senior management (A) may set policies but have limited daily interactions. Coworkers (B) can influence attitudes, but supervisors have more direct authority. The Alberta Workers' Compensation Board (D) is an external regulatory body and has less influence on day-to-day attitudes.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Intervening to improve environmental conditions requires basic social, economic, and political changes. Aggregates must work together to create such change. The other responses do not address the multiple dimensions that must be impacted in order to impact change within environmental health.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The built environment is the connection between people, communities, and their surrounding environments that affect health habits and behaviors, interpersonal relationships, cultural values, and customs. Most people live within areas that require almost daily contact with potential health risks and threats, such as intoxicated or impaired drivers, secondhand smoke, urban crowding, noise exposure, unabated traffic, and the stress of increased mechanization.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Statistics do not reflect unreported health problems. Collective problems related to employment or occupation are often perceived as individualized injuries, and no one 'connects the dots.' Companies are willing to share employee injury information and recognize the risks of employment, but the information may be inaccurate because of the perception of individualized injuries.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers in the United States. It is estimated that radon causes an estimated 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year.
