How can hazardous exposure to flavoring chemicals be eliminated or prevented?
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends that employers substitute less hazardous materials if feasible, implement engineering and administrative controls, educate themselves and their employees, mandate the use of personal protective equipment (such as gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection equipment, if necessary), and regularly monitor exposure and worker health.
