Answer: Employers have a responsibility to clearly communicate hazards and mark all hazards with the appropriate warning symbols
Explanation:
The statement that best describes why they display the symbol and the biohazard marking is because employers have a responsibility to clearly communicate hazards and mark all hazards with the appropriate warning symbols.
