Risk control measures in toxicology can be categorized into several types:
- Engineering Controls: These involve designing or modifying equipment and processes to reduce exposure to hazards. Examples include ventilation systems and enclosed processes. - Administrative Controls: These are policies and procedures aimed at reducing risk, such as training programs, work schedules, and safety protocols. - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): This includes gear such as gloves, masks, and goggles that protect individuals from exposure to hazardous substances. - Substitution: Replacing a hazardous substance with a less dangerous one to reduce risk.
