How is asbestosis usually prevented in workplace settings?

  1. Through psychological counseling

  2. Using wet processes and local exhaust ventilation

  3. Providing bottled water to employees

  4. Annual physical examination alone

The correct answer is: Using wet processes and local exhaust ventilation

Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers. Therefore, psychological counseling (option A), providing bottled water (option C), and annual physical examination (option D) are unrelated and insufficient methods for preventing asbestosis. The most effective way to prevent asbestosis in workplace settings is to use wet processes and local exhaust ventilation which can reduce the number of airborne asbestos particles and minimize the risk of inhalation (option B).
