Explanation:

Question 1

In Ontario, the number of work - related illness/injury cases per year is large. A dozen big hockey arenas have a significant seating capacity, and the actual number of such cases is enough to fill them. So the answer is yes.

New workers are more likely to get hurt on the job as they are unfamiliar with the work environment, procedures, and potential hazards. Experienced workers have more knowledge and skills to avoid injuries. So the answer is no.

The Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations are designed to provide guidelines for all workplace members (from employer to new worker) on how to enhance workplace safety. So the answer is yes.

Answer:

Yes
