Explanation

Reverse logistics.

The 'returns' sector represents an industry in itself, and creates large volumes of traffic on the roads.

In a LinkedIn post some time ago, I suggested that 'last mile' distribution and returns could be un-dertaken more efficiently and in a more environmentally-friendly manner by a single state-run en-terprise, perhaps with red vehicles and red collection boxes. This was a 'witty' idea, as historically in the UK we had Post Office / Royal Mail doing exactly that, prior to privatisation of the market and the very significant growth of companies like DHL, TNT, etc - the 'success' of this competitive mar-ket has resulted in vast numbers of 'white vans' crowding the roads and pavements, resulting in noise, air pollution, and I'm sure an increased number of road accidents. A PhD awaits someone who wishes to monitor the change in injuries and deaths as delivery / reverse logisitcs vehicle num-ber have increased in the UK.

CO2 - an example of a greenhouse gas.

This is very common knowledge.

Explanation

The correct answer is that all of these shown create hazards, which along with exposure to chemi-cals, gases and some forms of dust, must be guarded against. In most countries there is legislation which should be observed to promote safe working.

Warehouses and factories are highly hazardous places, and managers should ensure that stringent safety procedures are followed to the letter, in some cases, upon pain of dismissal for employees. For examples, vehicles and humans should be physically separated wherever possible, and items at height should be handled with utmost care.

(Yesterday I witnessed a crane manoeuvre (outside the UK) where an operative was standing di-rectly under a very heavy item, which had it fallen, would have instantly killed the operative. Such practices need to be trained out of people, irrespective of the cost.)
