Lead
Exposure to lead can occur through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact, leading to serious health effects such as neurological disorders, organ damage, and developmental issues. Proper ventilation, personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves and respiratory protection, and hygiene practices are crucial when handling lead-containing materials or working in environments where lead dust or fumes may be present. Regular monitoring of lead levels in the workplace and medical surveillance of workers are also essential to prevent overexposure. By implementing rigorous safety measures and awareness programs, industries and workers can effectively mitigate the risks associated with working with lead and ensure a safe working environment.
