Working for an oil drilling company in the oil sands region of northern Alberta can be very lucrative, even for workers in entry level jobs. Workers have moved to Fort McMurray and other northern Alberta towns in the thousands, from all over Canada and even from overseas. However,

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it highlights the fact that fatalities, while less common, are still a risk in the oil drilling industry. This is an important point to emphasize the potential dangers associated with working in this field. It is crucial for workers to be aware of these risks and for companies to prioritize safety measures to prevent such incidents. Choice A is incorrect because it focuses on the efficiency and safety measures taken by oil drilling crews, which is not directly related to the risk of fatalities mentioned in the question. Choices C and D are blank, so they are automatically incorrect as they do not provide any information to support or refute the statement in the question.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A healthy environment increases quality of life and years of healthy living. Accumulated evidence shows that the environmental changes of the past few decades have profoundly influenced the status of public health. Globally, environmental factors contribute to nearly 25% of all deaths and increase disease burden (World Health Organization, 2016). The safety, beauty, and life-sustaining capacity of the physical environment are unquestionably of global consequence.

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.
