In risk management, which approach sets exposure levels to what is feasible?

• A. Eye Hazards
• B. Technology-Based
• C. Balancing
• D. Target Organ Toxicants

Answer: (B)

Technology-Based approaches set exposure levels by what current controls and technologies can realistically achieve. In risk management, this means standards are anchored to what engineering controls, monitoring capabilities, and practical implementation can actually deliver, balancing protective goals with feasibility and cost. If the technology available today can keep exposures at a certain level, that becomes the target, with ongoing improvement as technology advances. The other terms describe hazards or considerations rather than the method of establishing feasible exposure limits.
