Practice Question
A group of technicians from a local automotive repair shop presents to an urgent care clinic with reports of dizziness, headaches, and nausea. After providing needed care to the clients, which of the following government agencies should the nurse notify to follow up on these reports?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Rationale:
🏭 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the federal agency responsible for ensuring safe and healthy working conditions by setting and enforcing standards and providing training, outreach, and education.
🏭 When a group of employees from the same workplace presents with symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and nausea, it suggests a possible hazardous exposure or environmental safety violation in the workplace.
🏭 OSHA is the appropriate agency to investigate workplace-related illnesses, including potential chemical exposures, carbon monoxide leaks, or poor ventilation in industrial or repair settings like automotive shops.
🏭 Prompt notification allows OSHA to conduct workplace inspections, identify the source of the problem, and enforce necessary remediation measures to prevent further incidents.
