Requesting a Material Safety Data Sheet (A) will provide information on the chemicals Dara is exposed to, including any health risks. Encouraging Dara to report her concern to her employer (C) is important for workplace safety and may lead to changes that reduce her exposure. Contacting the local hazard evaluation service (D) can help assess the workplace for hazards and recommend improvements. Urging Dara to quit her job immediately (B) is not a first-line intervention without further assessment and attempts to mitigate risks. Giving Dara a surgical mask (E) may not be effective for chemical exposure, as these masks are not designed to filter out chemicals or fumes.
