A nurse has to use a chemical that is potentially harmful to his health. How could following a safety procedure reduce the risk of illness in this case?

A safety procedure gives specific directions for handling and using the chemical safely. Following those directions can reduce exposure and therefore lower the nurse’s risk of illness. Choice A describes this practical risk reduction; a general reminder to be careful, as in B, does not explain how to minimize the risk.
