What is one risk factor to evaluate during a Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE)?

During a Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE), evaluating workplace exposure hazards is crucial because it focuses specifically on identifying elements in the work environment that could pose risks to the health and safety of employees. This includes examining potential exposures to harmful substances, environments, and practices that could lead to acute or chronic health issues.

Understanding these hazards allows for the implementation of appropriate safety measures, interventions, or controls to protect workers. This evaluation aims to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations and promote a safer workplace. Identifying and analyzing these exposures risk factors enables organizations to develop effective strategies in their health and safety programs.
