Question

willard runs an industrial, hand - operated floor sander four days a week. although he wears his ppe religiously, he is still at risk for all these potential injuries except

Explanation:

Operating an industrial hand - operated floor sander can cause hearing loss due to noise, hand numbness from vibrations, muscle pain and fatigue from physical exertion. But without further context, it's hard to identify an "except" option from the given ones as all seem possible work - related injuries. Assuming there is a mis - typing or a non - typical situation, if we consider that proper PPE can fully mitigate one of these, and if we assume the noise is well - controlled by PPE, hearing loss could be the least likely among them compared to the others which are more related to physical exertion and vibration that PPE may not fully eliminate.

Answer:

Hearing loss (assuming proper PPE fully controls noise)
