Which is NOT a category of RM risk controls described?

• A. Engineering
• B. Administrative
• C. Physical PPE
• D. Moral support

Answer: (D)

Risk controls are actions that reduce exposure to hazards, and they fall into three main types: engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment. Engineering controls physically alter the environment or equipment to remove the hazard or reduce exposure, such as guards, interlocks, ventilation, or shielding. Administrative controls change how people work around the hazard—things like training, written procedures, standard operating procedures, warnings, supervision, and job rotation to limit exposure time. Personal protective equipment provides individual protection when hazards remain after other controls, including helmets, gloves, eye protection, and hearing protection.

Moral support isn’t a formal risk-control measure. While it can improve morale and readiness, it doesn’t directly reduce a hazard or exposure through a controllable mechanism, so it isn’t categorized as a risk-control type.
