Liu · Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) - Substandard working conditions.

Explanation:

Work conditions are understood as any aspect of work with possible negative consequences for the health of workers, including, in addition to environmental and technological aspects, work organization and management issues.

Although we bear in mind that disease is not something foreign to the human condition, but that it is part of its nature, as well as health, it is no less true that at work we get in relation to dangerous substances, materials and machines, with forced physical demands, with harmful environmental and climatic conditions, etc.

It is possible to avoid unjust illness and death, in the sense of preventable, premature, and with these adjectives most of the work-related damages can be described.
