Which of the following is not one of the three engineering controls and work practices required on all asbestos operations?
Correct Answer:
Respiratory protection
Explanation:
In asbestos work, the aim is to reduce exposure by altering how the work is done and preventing fibers from becoming airborne. The three engineering controls and work practices that apply to all operations are using wet methods to suppress dust, employing HEPA-filtered vacuums to collect dust, and promptly cleaning up asbestos debris to minimize residual fibers. Respiratory protection, while critical for safety, is not one of these engineering controls; it’s a form of personal protective equipment. It’s handled through a separate respiratory protection program that covers selecting the right respirator, medical clearance, fit testing, training, and maintenance. So, respiratory protection isn’t one of the three engineering controls/work practices.
