If you or your workers could be exposed to release fumes, dusts, gases, mists, fibres or vapours, make sure you’ve implemented the right control measures.
The below list is ordered from most effective control measure to the least effective.
- Eliminate the material or process that is causing the hazard
- Substitute products for less hazardous ones
- Isolate workers from release fume, dusts, gases, mists, fibres or vapours
- Use engineering controls
- Reduce the time workers spend in exposure areas
- Personal protective equipment (PPE).
