What are Some Examples of Replacement Frequency in Practice?
In the context of industrial hygiene, replacement frequency is often applied to the monitoring and substitution of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as respirators or gloves, which can degrade over time and lose their protective properties. In laboratories, chemical reagents may have specific replacement frequencies to ensure they remain potent and safe for use. Additionally, in the agricultural sector, pesticides and fertilizers may be replaced periodically to prevent environmental contamination and ensure crop safety.
