Question

question 9 1 pts when there is a possibility of being exposed to asbestos, workers should ____.
○ call the emergency number to call for first aid services
○ putting on a respirator before disturbing asbestos
○ remove asbestos as quickly as possible
○ report the situation to a supervisor and avoid disturbing them

Explanation:

• For the option "call the emergency number to call for first aid services": Asbestos exposure isn't an immediate first - aid - only situation like a severe injury, so this is incorrect.
• For the option "putting on a respirator before disturbing asbestos": The grammar is incorrect (should be "put on"), and also, workers without proper training shouldn't disturb asbestos even with a respirator.
• For the option "Remove asbestos as quickly as possible": Workers without proper training and equipment should not attempt to remove asbestos as it can increase exposure.
• For the option "Report the situation to a supervisor and avoid disturbing them": When there's a possibility of asbestos exposure, workers should report it to their supervisor and not disturb the asbestos (to prevent releasing more fibers into the air), which is the correct safety protocol.

Answer:

D. Report the situation to a supervisor and avoid disturbing them (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D in order as: A. call the emergency number to call for first aid services, B. putting on a respirator before disturbing asbestos, C. Remove asbestos as quickly as possible, D. Report the situation to a supervisor and avoid disturbing them)
