Minimizing exposure to fumes involves a combination of engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Engineering controls may include local exhaust ventilation systems that capture fumes at the source. Administrative controls involve implementing safe work practices and training workers on the hazards of fume exposure. PPE, such as respirators, should be used when other controls do not adequately reduce exposure levels. Ensuring compliance with occupational safety guidelines and regulations is also essential.
