Wet work is defined as exposure of skin to liquid for more than what duration per day?

1 hour
2 hours
3 hours
4 hours

The correct answer is: 2 hours

Wet work refers to any job or activity that involves constant or frequent exposure to liquids, such as washing dishes or working in a swimming pool. In order to protect the skin from potential damage, it is important to limit the duration of exposure. Option A, 1 hour, is not a long enough duration to be considered "constant or frequent". Option C, 3 hours, and option D, 4 hours, are longer than the recommended duration for wet work. Option B, 2 hours, strikes a balance between protecting the skin and being able to complete necessary tasks or work responsibilities. Therefore, it is the most suitable answer.
