Answer to Question 1

The following hazard control methods are recommended:
Eliminate the source of the hazards.
Substitute a less hazardous equivalent.
Reduce the hazards at the source.
Remove the employee from the hazard (e.g., substitute a robot or other automated system).
Isolate the hazards (e.g., enclose them in barriers).
Dilute the hazard (e.g., ventilate the hazardous substance).
Apply appropriate management strategies.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment.
Provide employee training.
Practice good housekeeping

Answer to Question 2

For 20 years, user documentation on TOR was not readily available. Consequently, wide-scale use did not occur until the early 1990s when documentation began to be circulated.
