Which of the following is a typical Administrative control?

• A. Warning signs and SOPs
• B. PPE barriers
• C. Administrative
• D. Travel Risk Planning System

Answer: (C)

Administrative controls reduce risk by changing how people work—through policies, procedures, training, and information that guide behavior. Warning signs and standard operating procedures are classic examples because they codify the rules and steps people must follow, shaping actions to minimize exposure without altering the hazard itself or relying on protective gear.

That’s why this concept is the best match for an administrative control. PPE barriers are protective equipment, not administrative guidance. A Travel Risk Planning System is a planning tool that supports risk management, but the concrete administrative control demonstrated here is the guidance provided by warning signs and SOPs.
