Engineering controls definition

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 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. S-5 Where exposure or the risk of exposure cannot be eliminated by the use of engineering controls, the Employer shall use administrative controls to further reduce exposure or the risk of exposure to the lowest feasible extent.

• P.E. Review and Certification of Sufficiency of Engineering Controls (other than permanent.

• P.G. Review, Evaluation and Certification of plans, installation, and project oversight for Engineering Controls (limited to permanent, impermeable surface or top two feet of clean fill).

• The CAR must report on interim progress (i.e., loan signed, cleanup started) and any final accomplishments (i.e., cleanup completed, contaminants removed, Institution Controls, Engineering Controls) by completing and submitting relevant portions of the Property Profile Form using the Brownfields Program on-line reporting system, known as Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES).

More Definitions of Engineering controls

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;

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 mitigates the hazards, such as creatinges a barrier between the worker and the hazard. For purposes of reducing workplace violence hazards, engineering controls may include, 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.
