Engineering controls and personal protective equipment

Being able to implement engineering controls and promote worker self-care helps to minimize risk as much as possible.

At this point it is known that each step is important, since thanks to toxicology studies, the tools provided by metrology can make the correct decisions to reduce the exposure of exposed workers.

In addition, it is not difficult to implement because with the results obtained, the professions could notice that these nanomaterials are similar to pharmaceutical dry powder or cosmetic pifmentation, thus helping to take the correct measures. Not to mention that it has a behavior similar to an aerosol, which means that it is suspended in the air and does not fall to the ground or surface.

As it was observed, the way in which workers absorb the particles is through inhalation, thus giving the first necessary control, which is to use local extraction ventilation with particle air filters efficiency (HEPA), which help 88% clean the air in people's workplace.

But not everything remains in machine controls, it is also possible to implement care to the body of the person, according to studies according to the enclosure in which the worker is located, the best thing is to have facial and eye protection, which is summarized in personal protection elements ( EPP). What would be the respirators with N95 and P100 filters that reduce the inhalation of particles to 95%.
