You work with the Environmental Protection Agency and are attempting to determine hazard levels for the insurance company. Which of the following individuals has the lowest workplace risk of getting cancer?

A. Social worker

B. Artist using cadmium pigments

C. Nuclear power plant technician

D. Lifeguard

Answer: D, lifeguard

Explanation:

A social worker is concerned with individuals, families and groups and communities in an effort to enhance social functioning and wellbeing and could be exposed to cancer over time in a bid to work. This depends on the nature of job he is doing.

Cadmium is cancerous so the artist is at risk.

The technician at the nuclear power plant is also exposed to cancerous elements.

The lifeguard is not at risk because his job is to primarily rescue people who are in danger or are drowning in the beach, swimming pool etc.
