devices and systems.

The design of an effective safety program incorporates a

combination of:

Engineered controls.

Administrative controls.

Personnel protective equipment, e.g., respirators,

protective clothing, etc. However, per 10 CFR

835.1001(c), the primary methods used shall be

physical design features. Administrative controls and
