What should be done if exposure to a fumigant occurs?

Seeking immediate medical attention after exposure to a fumigant is critically important due to the potential health risks associated with these chemicals. Fumigants can be toxic and may cause serious health effects that require professional treatment. Prompt medical evaluation ensures that any adverse reactions are addressed quickly and appropriately, which can prevent further complications and ensure the safety of the exposed individual.

Monitoring the individual without taking action does not address the risks involved and may allow a serious condition to develop untreated. Continuing to work exposes not only the affected person to additional risk but also others around them. Even documenting the exposure for future reference is insufficient without immediate medical intervention, as the health of the individual should be the top priority.
