What Are Some Effective Strategies for Preventing Toxic Exposure?
There are multiple strategies for preventing toxic exposure:
Substitution: Replace hazardous substances with less harmful alternatives whenever possible. Engineering Controls: Use ventilation systems, isolation techniques, and other engineering solutions to minimize exposure. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Equip individuals with appropriate PPE such as gloves, masks, and goggles to reduce exposure risks. Administrative Controls: Implement policies and procedures that limit the duration and frequency of exposure, such as rotating job assignments. Training and Education: Educate workers and the public on the safe handling and potential risks of chemicals.
