Which term describes the process of eliminating health impacts identified by HRA?

• A. OEH Hazards
• B. LER
• C. DOEHRS
• D. HRM

Answer: (D)

After an HRA identifies potential health impacts, the step that addresses and eliminates those impacts is Health Risk Management. This is a proactive, systematic approach where identified risks are controlled or removed through engineering controls, administrative measures, and personal protective equipment, along with medical surveillance and training. The goal is to reduce exposures to acceptable levels or remove the hazard entirely, and to verify effectiveness over time. The other terms refer to either the hazards themselves (not the process of eliminating impacts) or to data systems and reporting tools used in occupational health—not the action of eliminating health impacts.
