What are the three types of workplace hazard controls?
Hazard Controls
- Elimination and Substitution. The most preferred method of controlling risk is to eliminate the hazard altogether.
- Engineering Controls.
- Administrative Controls.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
What is an example of an administrative control?
Administrative controls are training, procedure, policy, or shift designs that lessen the threat of a hazard to an individual. Other examples include hours of service regulations for commercial vehicle operators, Safety signage for hazards, and regular maintenance of equipment.
What is an example of a control measure?
If you send staff on a training course to understand how to do something safely, that’s a control measure. If you provide an item of equipment that makes the task safer, that’s also a control measure. Elimination is the best control measure you can use, to eliminate the risk from the task entirely.
What are examples of engineering control?
Engineering controls protect workers by removing hazardous conditions or by placing a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Examples include local exhaust ventilation to capture and remove airborne emissions or machine guards to shield the worker.
What are the two types of controls in an organization?
Recognizing that organizational controls can be categorized in many ways, it is helpful at this point to distinguish between two sets of controls: (1) strategic controls and (2) management controls, sometimes called operating controls (Harrison & St. John, 2002). Two Levels of Control: Strategic and Operational
Do we need crowd control signs for barricades?
In fact, we’re so used to seeing barricades that in most cases businesses don’t even need crowd control signs to tell people what to do. Drivers instinctively know to slow down when they see a string of traffic barrels on the highway, and parade spectators or pedestrians know not to jump metal police barricades.
What are the different types of construction barricades?
Traffic Barriers: Barricades that direct, stop, or reroute the flow of traffic, or cordon off dangerous areas of a construction site from pedestrians, workers, and drivers. Expanding Length Barricades: Barricades that expand or retract to fit the size of an opening or exit, or create contiguous barriers that surround uniquely sized hazards.
Does corrective action based on operating controls affect strategic controls?
Corrective action based on operating controls may have implications for strategic controls when they involve changes in the strategy. It is also valuable to understand that, within the strategic and operational levels of control, there are several types of control.
