General Guideline Principles for Prevention and
Exposure Control for workers compensation patients
The New York State workers compensation board has developed these guidelines to help physicians, podiatrists, and other healthcare professionals provide appropriate treatment for Prevention and Exposure Control.
These Workers Compensation Board guidelines are intended to assist healthcare professionals in making decisions regarding the appropriate level of care for their patients with ankle and foot disorders.
The guidelines are not a substitute for clinical judgement or professional experience. The ultimate decision regarding care must be made by the patient in consultation with his or her healthcare provider.
Prevention and Exposure Control of Occupational Work Related Asthma
Elimination, substitution, administrative controls, engineering controls, and personal protective equipment are all methods of controlling workplace exposure (PPE). The best methods for preventing exposure are generally believed to be removing the agent or completely substituting the agent.
Engineering controls involve removing the possible exposure without requiring any involvement from the staff. Work practices and other administrative procedures aim to reduce exposure. Employers must utilise personal protective equipment to reduce exposure.
The danger of sensitization disorders, the significance of exposure control methods, signs of work-related asthma, and what to do if asthma symptoms appear in connection to work exposures should all be included in training materials as part of prevention initiatives.
Reducing or eliminating vulnerability at the starting point or in the environment is seen to be more effective than using PPE, particularly respirators.
Employers and employees must maintain a consistent commitment to the equipment’s selection, cleaning, maintenance, and storage as well as to the users’ medical observation, fit testing, and training if respiratory personal protection is to be successful.
In situations when it is not practicable to manage exposures at these other levels or while attempts are being made to do so, respirators are best employed as a temporary solution. In combination with another source- and/or environmental-level control measures, respirators are frequently utilised.
