occupational exposures

Occupational exposures refer to contact with harmful substances or environments encountered during work. These can include chemicals, fumes, dust, noise, or biological agents like bacteria. Such exposures may pose health risks over time, potentially causing illnesses, allergies, or other health issues. Employers are responsible for identifying hazards and implementing safety measures to reduce exposure. Workers should follow safety guidelines, use protective equipment, and report hazards to maintain a safe work environment. Understanding occupational exposures helps prevent health problems related to job-related activities.
