Which of the following best represents a threat to a physically safe campus environment?

• A. Electrical hazards
• B. Bullying
• C. Gossip in staff lounge
• D. Inadequate homework policy

Answer: (A)

Electrical hazards pose a direct risk to physical safety on a campus because frayed wires, overloaded outlets, or faulty equipment can lead to electric shocks, burns, or fires. These hazards are tangible threats in the built environment and require immediate attention to keep people safe. The other options involve safety concerns, but not as direct physical hazards: bullying affects student well-being and safety in a social sense, gossip in a staff lounge isn’t a physical risk to students, and an inadequate homework policy concerns academic expectations and climate rather than immediate physical danger. So electrical hazards are the clearest threat to a physically safe campus.
