RISK CONTROL OF EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS IN THE WORKPLACE
Abstract
Exposure to hazardous chemicals in the workplace can occur through routes such as inhalation, skin contact, and accidental ingestion. Some of these chemicals, such as organic solvents, heavy metals, and workplace chemicals, have been shown to be associated with serious health risks, including respiratory and nervous system disorders, and cancer. Exposure to hazardous chemicals in the workplace can pose acute and chronic health risks, as well as impact occupational safety and the environment. Risk control efforts are crucial to minimize potential hazards through the application of the hierarchy of control principle, starting from elimination, substitution, engineering, administration, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). This article discusses the forms of risk due to exposure to hazardous chemicals, effective control strategies, and the importance of implementing an OHS (Occupational Safety and Health) program in preventing work-related illnesses. The results of the discussion indicate that risk control must be carried out comprehensively and continuously by involving management, workers, and a health monitoring system.
