3. Determine control measures: Identify appropriate control measures to prevent or minimize exposure risks. This may include implementing engineering controls (e.g., ventilation systems), administrative controls (e.g., work practices), and personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements.
4. Develop procedures and protocols: Create clear procedures and protocols for handling hazardous substances or infectious materials, including safe work practices and emergency response measures. Ensure that these procedures are communicated to employees and regularly reviewed for effectiveness.

4. Laboratories and research facilities: Laboratories and research facilities that handle biological agents, chemicals, or other hazardous materials typically need exposure control plans to reduce the risks of exposure to employees and researchers.
