Question

how chemical hazards affect us
write any two ways by which we can reduce our explouser to the chemicals

Answer 1

Reduce or eliminate the use of hazardous chemicals whenever possible.
• Maintain adequate ventilation systems to reduce concentrations of airborne chemicals.
• Practicing good personal hygiene (e.g. washing hands) and maintaining regular workplace cleaning routines can reduce the amount of a chemical substance that is absorbed by a worker’s body. Learn how to avoid carrying hazardous substances home.
• Introduce administrative controls to minimize exposure to chemicals (e.g. rotate workers through different jobs or locations, perform maintenance work in off-hours so that accidental release of toxic substances will affect fewer workers).
• Use personal protective equipment and devices.
• Maintain equipment in good order to prevent leaks and breakdowns that may release toxic substances.
