Which organization works to reduce burden of biohazards?

1. OSHA

2. Aeration

3. K-wire

4. NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)

The correct answer is: OSHA

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is the correct answer because it is the organization that is specifically responsible for ensuring safe and healthy working conditions by setting and enforcing standards and providing training, outreach, education, and assistance. OSHA plays a vital role in reducing the burden of biohazards by regulating and enforcing guidelines to protect workers from exposure to harmful substances and ensuring proper handling and disposal of biohazardous materials. Option B, Aeration, is not relevant to reducing the burden of biohazards, as it refers to a process of exposing something to air or to cause air to circulate through it. Option C, K-wire, is a surgical device used in orthopedic procedures and is unrelated to biohazard reduction. Option D, NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), focuses on fire safety standards and codes, not specifically on reducing the burden of biohazards.
