Safety Control Measures Examples. Think of a control measure as an action aimed to eliminate a hazard completely. Some examples of osha guidelines are found in material safety data sheets.
Examples of administrative controls include procedure changes, employee training, and installation of signs and warning labels (such as those in the workplace hazardous materials information system). Teach children safety rules for matches, fires, electrical outlets, electrical cords, stoves, and chemicals. Administrative controls do not remove hazards, but limit or prevent people's exposure to the hazards, such as completing road construction at night when fewer people are driving.
Food manufacturers are responsible for developing and implementing a food safety program that is scientifically effective (validation) in controlling hazards and complies with current food safety programs (verification).
Monitoring should be done before and as well as after the change is implemented to make sure the changes did, in fact, control the hazard. Examples include exhausting contaminated air into occupied work spaces or using hearing protection that makes it difficult to hear backup alarms. Control through ways of working includes operating procedures, supervision and training. Inspections of retail stores by health inspectors or management personnel are a control measure to ensure compliance.
