Using Engineering Controls, Work Practices and PPE With Hazardous Exposure

Before completing this unit, it is important to note one thing about medical surveillance. All of the recommendations in this unit for medical surveillance assume that workers will have adequate protection from exposures because of the following controls, which you learned about in previous units:

• Administrative controls
• Engineering controls
• Appropriate personal protective equipment
• Proper decontamination procedures

Medical surveillance should be used to complement other controls.
