Answer:

A. These programs cannot be used to discourage employees from exercising their right to report injuries and illnesses.

Explanation:

Every employee has the right to voice their concerns over any disciplinary, incentive, or drugs testing programs in the workplace.  Employers should, therefore, give their employees some listening ears and take their concerns into consideration in their decisions.  Importantly, these programs should never be used to retaliate against employees reporting workplace issues or abuses.  Open formal communication must be encouraged among employees and between employees and employers.  Resorting to unfair treatment has damaged the reputations of many employers of labor.
