Which is not a safety risk control?

• A. Engineering controls
• B. Administrative controls
• C. Personal protective equipment
• D. Measurements of safety performance or process effectiveness

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is that safety risk controls are actions that directly reduce hazard exposure or its consequences. Engineering controls physically remove or separate people from the hazard, such as safeguards or automated safeguards that stop the hazard from reaching personnel. Administrative controls modify how work is done—through procedures, training, and scheduling—to lower risk. Personal protective equipment provides protection to individuals when hazards cannot be eliminated or controlled by other means. Measurements of safety performance or process effectiveness aren’t risk controls themselves; they’re monitoring tools that show how well the controls are working and help identify where to improve, but they don’t directly reduce the hazard or exposure.
