Correct Answer
D) Use suitable wet cleanup or HEPA-filtered vacuuming to minimize exposure.
Under Title 8 section 1532.3(f), dry sweeping that contributes to silica exposure is prohibited unless wet sweeping, HEPA-filtered vacuuming or other exposure-minimizing methods are infeasible. The scenario states a suitable method is feasible, so use it rather than disperse dust. Source: https://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/1532_3.html
