How is the Risk of MDS Assessed in Occupational Settings?
In occupational settings, the risk of MDS is assessed through comprehensive exposure assessment and monitoring programs. Employers must ensure that workers are not exposed to hazardous levels of known MDS-inducing agents. Personal protective equipment (PPE) and engineering controls are critical in minimizing exposure risks. Regular health surveillance, including blood tests, can help in the early detection of hematologic abnormalities.
