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 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 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 and modification to work practices necessary to eliminate dust generation shall not impact the cost of the Contract nor increase Contractor’s time of completion.
Engineering controls shall be put in place to mitigate potential vapors if structures are placed above the impacted area.
Engineering controls would include a site-wide protective cap that eliminates exposure to contaminated soils.
Engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established exposure limits (see Section 2), additional engineering controls may be required.
The corrective action will include any combination of the following: Engineering controls such as design, selection, location and orientation of tools, parts and equipment will be used.

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 modifications to a site to reduce or eliminate the potential for exposure to petroleum products’ chemicals of concern, drycleaning solvents, or other contaminants. Such modifications may include, but are not limited to, physical or hydraulic control measures, capping, point of use treatments, or slurry walls.
