Engineering controls means constructed containment barriers or systems that control one or more of the following: downward migration, infiltration, or seepage of surface runoff or rain; or natural leaching migration of contaminants through the subsurface over time. Examples include caps, engineered bottom barriers, immobilization processes, and vertical barriers.
Engineering controls means mechanisms used to protect health and minimize damage to life and property through engineering specifications, design, and construction of the product or facility including all of the security and safety features. This includes, but is not limited to, auxiliary security and safety features such as additional external shielding, barriers, and operational interlocks with associated processes.
Engineering controls means any mechanism to contain or stabilize contamination or ensure the effectiveness of a remedial action. Engineering controls may include, without limitation, caps, covers, dikes, trenches, leachate collection systems, signs, fences and physical access controls;
Examples of Engineering controls in a sentence
Engineering controls Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
Engineering controls should be used in preference to personal protective equipment wherever practicable.
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard.
Engineering controls, i.e. enclosed systems, should be used whenever feasible to maintain exposures below acceptable criteria.
Hazardous Component(s) Engineering controls: Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain worker exposure below exposure limits.
More Definitions of Engineering controls
Engineering controls means controls that isolate or remove the blood borne pathogens hazard from the workplace and include sharps with engineered sharps injury protection, needleless devices, and shielded needle devices. Where engineering controls will reduce employee exposure by removing, eliminating or isolating the hazard, they must be used.
Engineering controls means any mechanism to contain or
Engineering controls means any mechanism used to contain or stabilize contamination that ensures the effectiveness of a remedial action and acts as a physical barrier between the contamination and contact with humans or the environment.
Engineering controls means an aspect of the built space or a device that removes a hazard from the workplace or creates a barrier between the worker and the hazard. For purposes of reducing workplace violence hazards, engineering controls include, as applicable, but are not limited to: electronic access controls to employee occupied areas; weapon detectors (installed or handheld); enclosed workstations with shatter-resistant glass; deep service counters; separate rooms or areas for high risk patients; locks on doors; furniture affixed to the floor; opaque glass in patient rooms (protects privacy, but allows the health care provider to see where the patient is before entering the room); closed-circuit television monitoring and video recording; sight-aids; and personal alarm devices.
Engineering controls means any physical mechanism defined as such pursuant to the Technical Requirements for Site Remediation, N.J.A.C. 7:26E.
Engineering controls or “ECs” means physical controls
Engineering controls means physical modifications to a site to reduce or eliminate the potential for exposure to chemicals of concern.
