_________ denote a loss-producing, unintended event, and an _________ denotes an unintended event that possibly doesn't result in a loss.

_________ denote a loss-producing, unintended event, and an _________ denotes an unintended event that possibly doesn't result in a loss.

• A. Accidents, incident
• B. Incidents, accident
• C. Hazards, risks
• D. Events, near miss

Answer: (A)

The main idea is distinguishing between a loss-producing unplanned event and an unplanned event that might not cause a loss. An accident is used for a unplanned event that results in injury, damage, or other loss. An incident covers unplanned events that may not cause harm or loss—including near misses—so it fits the second blank as the broader, possibly non-loss event. The other options don’t fit because hazards and risks are conditions or probabilities rather than actual unplanned events, and terms like near miss are too specific for the second blank, which should be the general word incident.
