| Engineering controls are methods used to control hazards at their source. These controls
are usually devices or implements such as sharps with engineered
sharps injury protection, needleless systems, sharps containers,
and waste containers. Your control plan must generally identify
the types of engineering controls you are using and indicate how
frequently they should be checked to assure that they remain in
good working order. Some controls will have to be inspected more
frequently than others and you must determine what inspection frequency
is "appropriate" for your situation. Biological safety
cabinets, for example, might need to be inspected annually; sharps
containers, on the other hand, might need to be inspected daily. |
