If a women's safety policy has no budget what is the most likely effect on implementation?

Correct answer: Facilities and action may remain weak

The direct answer is option A: facilities and action may remain weak. A safety policy states what should be done, but implementation requires money for equipment, training, complaint systems, inspections, responsible staff and corrective action. The reasoning is: a safety policy exists; no budget is assigned; necessary resources may not be available; therefore facilities and actual action can remain weak. Option A is correctly cautious because it says 'may' rather than claiming failure in every case. Option B, the policy will implement itself, is wrong because rules need resources, people and monitoring. Option C, safety needs no spending, is wrong because many safety measures require material and administrative support. Option D, complaints will solve automatically, is wrong because complaints need a functioning reporting and response system. Exam cue: policy without budget and accountability may remain only on paper.
