[Introduction to Risk and Insurance]Which action reduces a hazard?

A hazard is a condition that increases the likelihood or severity of a loss. Installing anti-slip flooring reduces the chance of slips and falls, thereby reducing a hazard. This is an example of loss prevention—altering physical conditions to make an environment safer.

Option B increases danger because high beams on a busy highway can blind other drivers. Option C significantly increases fire hazard because sprinkler systems provide automatic fire suppression. Option D exposes items to damage during transit, increasing rather than decreasing hazard.

Therefore, the only option that clearly reduces a hazard is A: installing anti-slip floor tile.
