🔍 Key Concepts

• Paint fumes and ventilation in enclosed spaces • Risk of toxic vapors and oxygen deficiency in freshly painted compartments • Hierarchy of controls: eliminate or reduce the hazard at the source before relying on personal equipment

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: what should you do to make the compartment itself safer before anyone starts working inside? • Which option reduces or removes the buildup of fumes for everyone, not just one worker? • Which choice would likely be required even if you later decided to use respiratory protection?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option directly reduces the concentration of fumes in the compartment. • Check which action would typically be taken first, before relying on protective gear or firefighting equipment. • Eliminate any choices that do nothing to improve air quality in the space.
