Work Practice Controls By following established safe work practices and procedures for accomplishing a task safely (and using PPE in many cases), your employees can further reduce their exposure to hazard. 1. Some of these general practices are very general in their applicability. They include procedural activities such as:
- Removal of tripping, blocking, and slipping hazards;
- Removal of accumulated toxic dust on surfaces; and
- Wetting down surfaces to keep toxic dust out of the air.
