Administrative Controls

Changing the way that jobs are done can reduce injuries. Examples include:

• reducing the weight that one worker must lift by having more than one person perform a lift;
  
  
• reducing exposure to hot or cold conditions by taking breaks; 
  
  
• reducing exposure to noise by rotating tasks to reduce the amount of exposure for each worker; 
  
  
• preventing hepatitis B disease by providing hepatitis B vaccine; and/or 
  
  
• training workers about hazards and how to avoid being injured.
