In the context of workplace and environmental hazards, what does 'early therapeutic intervention' aim to address?

Prevent hazards entirely
Control generated exposures
Reduce exposure
Treat individuals after exposure has occurred

The correct answer is: Treat individuals after exposure has occurred

Early therapeutic intervention aims to address treating individuals after exposure has occurred. This means that the intervention is provided after exposure to hazards has already taken place and is meant to decrease or alleviate the harmful effects of the exposure. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they all relate to prevention or control measures that aim to prevent or minimize exposure to hazards. Option A refers to preventing hazards entirely, while options B and C refer to controlling or reducing exposures. These options are not the same as providing therapeutic intervention after exposure has already occurred. Therefore, option D is the most appropriate answer in the context of workplace and environmental hazards.
