Prevention
Avoiding direct exposure to toxins will reduce the risk of toxic injury.
For safety reasons, wear personal protective equipment when working near environmental or chemical toxins. Many countries have guides classifying dangerous goods and identifying the risks associated with them, such as Canada's Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. These guides have been developed to ensure worker safety when handling dangerous chemical toxins. It is also important to maintain a clean and dry environment to prevent toxic molds in the home and workplace.
In the event that a toxic injury occurs, victims may have the option to file a specific type of lawsuit called a toxic tort.
