• Provide personal protective equipment (PPE) to workers.
• Develop and implement a training program for workers on the safe use of PPE.
• Implement a monitoring program to measure exposure levels.
• Conduct regular medical examinations on exposed workers.
• Provide medical treatment to workers with signs and symptoms of exposure.
• Provide follow-up care for workers with chronic health effects due to exposure.
• Develop and implement a plan to reduce exposure to toxic agents.

The best way to prevent occupational exposure to toxic agents in other industries is to ensure that all workers are properly trained on how to handle hazardous materials, use appropriate personal protective equipment, and maintain a clean and hazard-free work environment. additionally, employers should provide regular health and safety training to all employees and make sure that all safety protocols are followed.
