Correct answer: "to reduce exposure to harmful agents through the use of personal protective equipment."
Explanation: PPE reduces exposure but does not eliminate the hazard. The preferred order is the hierarchy of controls: elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, then PPE as the last line of defense. Options 1 and 4 are incorrect (PPE does not eliminate hazards and should not replace higher-level controls), and option 2 (working as quickly as possible) is unsafe and not a recommended control strategy.
