If a manager considered spending on worker safety not as a burden but as professional responsibility which approach is shown?

Correct answer: Human centred professional approach

The direct answer is Option A: a human-centred professional approach. Worker safety protects human life, health and dignity. When a manager treats safety spending as a professional responsibility rather than merely a burden, the manager is applying ethics, stakeholder responsibility and service motive. The reasoning is: workers are important stakeholders; safety reduces preventable harm; responsible management considers long-term human welfare, not only immediate cost; therefore the approach is human-centred and professional. Option B is wrong because cost saving alone would treat safety only as an expense and could neglect people. Option C is wrong because entry control concerns who may enter the profession, not workplace safety. Option D is wrong because safety responsibility supports, rather than opposes, service motive. Exam cue: when people’s welfare is placed above narrow short-term cost, identify a human-centred ethical approach.
