Which of the following is NOT a reason a GS employee can receive hazard pay?

A GS (General Schedule) employee receiving hazard pay must be engaged in work that involves risk or danger beyond normal levels. Hazard pay is typically assigned when employees face specific hazards such as uncontrolled firelines, rough terrain, or the presence of helicopter operations overhead, all of which can pose significant risks to their safety.

The choice indicating working in controlled environments does not warrant hazard pay, as such environments are often designed to minimize risks and hazards. These environments usually provide a level of safety that is not present in uncontrolled or hazardous settings. Therefore, working in controlled environments does not meet the criteria for hazard pay, as employees are not exposed to the same level of danger as they would be in the other scenarios listed.
