What are some examples of imminent health hazards?

  1. Loss of customer interest, bad reviews

  2. Electrical power outages, fire, and floods

  3. Food expiration, poor employee hygiene

  4. Equipment malfunction, low supplies

The correct answer is: Electrical power outages, fire, and floods

An imminent health hazard is any situation that has a high chance of causing immediate injury, illness, or death to individuals. Options A, C, and D do not pose an immediate threat to health. Loss of customer interest and bad reviews may indicate a decrease in revenue, but they do not directly cause harm to anyone's health. Food expiration and poor employee hygiene can eventually lead to health hazards, but not necessarily in the immediate future. Equipment malfunction and low supplies may cause inconveniences, but they do not pose a direct threat to health. In contrast, electrical power outages, fire, and floods can all result in physical harm to individuals and are considered imminent health hazards.
