You're on a job site and a diesel-engine concrete mixer is emitting toxic fumes. What
would be the most effective way to protect workers from the fumes?
(Choose all that apply.) - answerRemove the mixer from the site.
Use a different engine that doesn't emit fumes.
Some of these safety measures would be much more effective than others: -
answerRemoving the mixer or using a different engine would mean workers aren't
exposed to any fumes.
•
Ventilation and limiting use time would help. But workers would still be exposed to some
fumes.
•
Respirators wouldn't reduce workers' exposure. But they could protect them from the
toxic effects.
hierarchy of controls - answer> If hazards can't be removed, employers can reduce
workers' exposure with engineering safeguards (also called engineering controls) or
safety policies (also called administrative controls).
