What should low and medium risk substances have?

• A. Standard methods for the control of exposure to
• B. Specific and detailed assessments and control methods
• C. PPE only
• D. No controls required

Answer: (A)

Exposure control for low and medium risk substances relies on standard methods shared across routine tasks. This approach provides consistent protection without needing exhaustive, substance-specific risk assessments for every chemical. It covers baseline practices for safe handling and storage, appropriate ventilation or containment where applicable, spill response, and staff training. PPE is not the sole or primary measure; it sits within the broader hierarchy of controls, with engineering and administrative measures taking precedence. Since the risk is not high, standard control methods are appropriate and sufficient for protecting workers.
