Which of the following is not considered an engineering control?

  1. Seat belts in vehicles

  2. Ground fault circuit interrupters

  3. Training on safe work practices

  4. Bullet-resistant barriers

The correct answer is: Training on safe work practices

An engineering control is a preventive measure designed to isolate or remove a hazard completely. Seat belts, ground fault circuit interrupters, and bullet-resistant barriers all physically limit or prevent the harm caused by their respective hazards. Training, on the other hand, is an administrative control and does not have a physical element to reduce or eliminate the hazard. It is important to note that training is still an important control in workplace safety, but it is not considered an engineering control.
