Prevention strategies are multi-faceted and include:
- Engineering Controls: Designing safer work environments by eliminating hazards or isolating workers from hazards. - Administrative Controls: Implementing policies such as job rotation, rest breaks, and training programs to reduce exposure. - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Using equipment like gloves, masks, and earplugs to protect workers from hazards. - Health Surveillance: Regular health check-ups and monitoring to detect early signs of occupational diseases.
