Which SDS section covers Exposure controls?

• A. First aid measures
• B. Ecological information
• C. Exposure controls
• D. Disposal considerations

Answer: (C)

Exposure controls are the measures that actually limit how much of a hazardous substance workers are exposed to, including engineering controls, administrative practices, and the protective equipment required. The SDS dedicates a section to this topic so guidance is clear on what to put in place to keep exposure within safe limits. It covers engineering controls like ventilation and containment, recommended administrative controls and safe handling procedures, and the personal protective equipment needed (gloves, eye protection, respirators, etc.). It also provides exposure limit values and monitoring methods to help determine whether the controls are working and when adjustments are needed. Other sections address different issues—what to do if exposure occurs (first aid measures), environmental effects (ecological information), and how to dispose of materials (disposal considerations)—which is why this is the right place for exposure controls.
