Abstract(s)
Woodworkers may come into contact with various natural and artificial toxins that might harm their health. To assess that exposure, the sampling strategy is crucial to accurately determine the possible health consequences for workers and gather data on microbial viability. It has been suggested that using scoring rubrics in performance assessments has several benefits, such as enhanced scoring uniformity, allowing correct evaluation of difficult abilities, and learning promotion. This evaluation aims to generate a score that will offer current data to determine the best sampling technique for occupational exposure to fungal contamination.
