A worker mixed chemicals that caused a release of toxic gas. In the past, other workers made the same mistake. Which step should the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) take in response?

OSHA should inspect the workplace to find out how the chemical-mixing mistake happened and whether unsafe conditions or procedures contributed. Because the same mistake has occurred before, an inspection can identify hazards and help determine what protections or corrections are needed. The correct choice is “Inspect the workplace to assess how this happened.”
