Administrative Controls for Thermal Stress include which item?

• A. Circulation air systems
• B. Ice garments
• C. Diet, life style, and general health
• D. Awareness training

Answer: (D)

Administrative controls are changes in how work is organized and how people behave to reduce heat exposure. Awareness training fits this because it equips workers and supervisors with the knowledge to recognize early signs of heat illness, understand when to take breaks, hydrate, and adjust workloads, and know the proper response if symptoms appear. It also supports acclimatization planning and reporting procedures, all aimed at safer work practices rather than altering the environment or providing cooling equipment. By contrast, circulation air systems are engineering controls that lower ambient heat, ice garments are cooling PPE or equipment, and diet, lifestyle, and general health describe individual factors that affect heat tolerance rather than a workplace procedure or policy.
