1. Engineering controls: Implementing engineering controls such as ventilation systems, dust collectors, and enclosed processes can help to minimize fiber exposure in the workplace.
2. Administrative controls: Implementing administrative controls such as work practices, training, and rotation of tasks can help to reduce the risk of fiber exposure.
3. Personal protective equipment (PPE): Providing workers with appropriate PPE such as respirators, gloves, and protective clothing can help to protect them from fiber exposure.
4. Regular monitoring: Regular monitoring of fiber levels in the workplace can help to identify any potential hazards and ensure that control measures are effective.
5. Proper handling and storage: Proper handling and storage of materials containing fibers can help to prevent fiber release and exposure.
6. Cleaning and maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance of equipment and work areas can help to prevent the accumulation of fibers and reduce the risk of exposure.
7. Training and education: Providing workers with training and education on the hazards of fibers and how to safely handle and work with them can help to prevent exposure.

Administrative Controls
- Implement a written comprehensive fiber control plan.
- Establish exposure limits and monitor air concentrations.
- Provide employee training on the hazards of fibers and control measures.
- Encourage employees to report symptoms or concerns related to fiber exposure.
- Conduct regular medical surveillance to monitor employee health.
Engineering Controls
- Use enclosed systems or processes to minimize fiber release.
- Install local exhaust ventilation (LEV) to capture and remove airborne fibers.
- Use wet processes to suppress fiber emissions.
- Implement automated cleaning systems to minimize manual handling of fibers.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Provide respirators (e.g., N95) to protect employees from airborne fibers.
- Use protective clothing (e.g., coveralls, gloves) to prevent skin contact with fibers.
- Ensure that PPE is properly fitted, inspected, and maintained.
Work Practices
- Minimize the generation of fibers during cutting, grinding, or other operations.
- Keep work areas clean and free of dust and fibers.
- Use wet cleanup methods to minimize fiber dispersal.
- Avoid using compressed air to clean work areas.
- Involve employees in the development and implementation of control measures.
Other Measures
- Monitor and maintain humidity levels to reduce static electricity and fiber suspension.
- Establish designated smoking areas outside of work areas.
- Provide showers or other washing facilities for employees after working with fibers.
- Educate employees on the proper handling and disposal of fiber-contaminated materials.
