Which item is included in Training and Administrative Controls?

• A. Safe job procedures
• B. Ventilation design
• C. Machine guarding
• D. Ear protection

Answer: (A)

Training and Administrative Controls are about how work is performed and taught to workers. Safe job procedures fit here because they provide written, step-by-step instructions that describe the correct way to perform a task, including the hazards involved and the controls required. They standardize how a job is done, support training, and give supervisors a clear basis for enforcing safe practices, all of which reduce exposure by guiding behavior and procedures.

Ventilation design is an engineering control that reduces hazards by removing or diluting contaminants at the source. Machine guarding is another engineering control that physically blocks access to hazards. Ear protection is PPE used to protect workers after exposure has occurred or as a supplementary protection, rather than a training or procedural measure.
