Carcinogens dangers
Carcinogens are agents that can cause cancer. In industry, there are A lot of potential exposures to carcinogens. usually, workplace exposures are considered to be at higher levels than for public exposures. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should always contain an indication of carcinogenic potential. A lot of workers are unaware of the potential dangers in their
work environment, which makes them more vulnerable to injury.
The Government requires companies to use Personal safety equipment to reduce employee exposure to dangers when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective.
