Who has the greatest responsibility for providing a safe work environment?

Workers
Employers
Public health agencies
Safety equipment manufacturers

The correct answer is: Employers

Employers have the greatest responsibility for providing a safe work environment because it is their legal and moral duty to ensure that their employees are working in a safe and healthy environment. Workers also have a responsibility to follow safety regulations and use provided safety equipment, but ultimately, it is the responsibility of the employer to create and maintain a safe workplace. Public health agencies may provide guidelines and regulations, but it is the employer's responsibility to adhere to them. Safety equipment manufacturers also play a role in providing safe equipment, but it is the employer's responsibility to ensure that proper safety measures are in place and enforced.
