Eliminating unnecessary health hazards

Description

Eliminating unnecessary health hazards involves systematically identifying, assessing, and removing or mitigating sources of preventable harm in environments where people live, work, and interact. This strategy targets specific risks—such as toxic substances, unsafe infrastructure, or poor sanitation—through regulatory enforcement, public education, and technological improvements. Its practical purpose is to reduce disease, injury, and premature death by implementing effective controls and promoting safer practices, thereby improving overall public health and well-being.This information has been generated by artificial intelligence.
