Engineered control definition

Engineered control means a containment or treatment system that is designed and constructed to prevent or limit the movement of, or the exposure to, a hazardous substance. An engineered control is a type of remedial action. Examples of engineered controls include:
Engineered control means any physical barrier, system, technology, or method that removes or reduces exposure to a hazardous material by sensitive receptors.
Engineered control means any physical barrier, system, technology, or method that removes or reduces exposure to a hazardous material in environmentally isolated or inaccessible to sensitive receptors.

Examples of Engineered control in a sentence

  • Engineered control measures, for example enclosures, ventilation systems, alarms, trips and guards.

  • Engineered control systems have finite design lives; thus, periodic monitoring of engineered controls is necessary to alert site managers to breakdowns of controls and hazardous substance releases.

  • Engineered control measures are always preferred over procedural controls.

  • For example, Lake Michigan water levels may drop by 1.25 to 2.5 metres (4 to 8 feet).16 Water levels in the freshwater portion of the St. Lawrence River will decrease by one metre (3.3 feet).17 Engineered control structures will not be able to mitigate these changes in a scenario where water levels are permanently lowered.

  • Engineered control of cell morphology in vivo reveals distinct roles for yeast and filamentous forms of Candida albicans during infection.
