A worker reports feeling dizzy after cleaning with a strong solvent. What is the best first action?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Get them into fresh air and tell the supervisor
- Step 1: Dizziness suggests the fumes are affecting them. Step 2. Fresh air removes the exposure and the supervisor must know so the task is changed. Answer: Get them into fresh air and tell the supervisor. Why not the others: Returning to the same work or delaying a report leaves the exposure unchanged.
