1. In the medical field, occupational exposure usually occurs during the contact between medical staff and patients or patients with infectious diseases. Medical personnel may be exposed to various pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and parasites. In addition, medical personnel may be exposed to some harmful substances, such as chemicals, radioactive substances and medical wastes. Exposure to these substances may have a negative impact on the health of medical staff.
2. In addition to the medical field, occupational exposure may also occur in other industries. For example, in manufacturing, employees may be exposed to harmful chemicals, heavy metals and noise. In the service industry, employees may be exposed to some negative emotions and pressures, such as anxiety, depression and excessive pressure. These factors may have a negative impact on the physical and mental health of employees.
In order to reduce the harm of occupational exposure, enterprises should take a series of measures to protect the health of employees. This includes providing appropriate personal protective equipment, health monitoring and evaluation, providing a safe working environment and training employees on how to deal with harmful factors. In addition, employees should also raise their awareness of protection, use protective equipment correctly, and receive health examination and training.

3. Strengthen ventilation and exhaust: At work, strengthen ventilation and exhaust facilities to reduce the content of harmful substances in the air. This can effectively reduce the exposure of employees to harmful substances and reduce the risk of occupational exposure.
4. Regular inspection and monitoring: enterprises should regularly inspect and monitor the working environment to understand the existence and concentration of harmful factors. According to the monitoring results, enterprises can take corresponding measures to reduce employees' exposure to harmful substances.
