What distinguishes an 'administrative control' from an 'engineering control' in hazard mitigation?
Answer: Administrative controls change work practices or schedules; engineering controls physically alter the work environment
Engineering controls physically modify equipment or the environment to reduce hazard exposure, while administrative controls involve changes to work procedures, schedules, or practices.
Which fire class designation applies to energized electrical equipment fires?

OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) standard (29 CFR 1910.119) applies to facilities that handle highly hazardous chemicals at or above what threshold?
Answer: Threshold quantities specified in Appendix A of the standard
PSM applicability is triggered when a facility has a listed highly hazardous chemical at or above the threshold quantities in 29 CFR 1910.119 Appendix A.
When calibrating test instruments used for safety-critical measurements, which documentation is required to demonstrate traceability?
Answer: Calibration certificates traceable to NIST or equivalent national standards
Metrological traceability requires calibration certificates that link measurements back to national or international standards bodies such as NIST.
