Administrative Controls

  1. While work practice controls can legitimately be considered forms of administrative control, we use this term here to describe other measures aimed at reducing employee exposure to hazard, generally by manipulating the work schedule. Such measures include:
  • Lengthened rest breaks,
  • Additional relief workers,
  • Exercise breaks to vary body motions, and
  • Rotation of workers through different jobs
2. Administrative controls normally are used in conjunction with other controls that more directly prevent or control exposure to hazard.
