Which item is listed as an environmental hazard?

• A. Limb s, roots, stumps, poisonous plants, and insects
• B. Weather forecast
• C. Temperature
• D. Wind direction

Answer: (A)

Environmental hazards are elements of the natural setting that can cause harm during activities. Limbs, roots, stumps, poisonous plants, and insects fit this category because they are part of the terrain and can cause trips, cuts, stings, or allergic reactions if not noticed or properly managed. Keeping pathways clear, inspecting for trip hazards, avoiding contact with poisonous plants, and controlling insect exposure are key safety practices. In contrast, weather forecast, temperature, and wind direction describe changing conditions rather than immediate hazards themselves; they inform risk levels but are not hazards by themselves.
