A warehouse keeps logging ladder misuse. Operations sends the same reminder email after each near miss but never refreshes training or updates the procedure. What should a risk manager emphasize about administrative controls?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
An email is a sticky note on a broken process—it fades fast. Administrative controls mean real procedures and refreshed training, and even then they sit below engineering fixes that remove the chance to mess up.
Full Explanation
Administrative controls change how people work through procedures, training, permits, and supervision. A one-off or perpetual reminder email without procedure updates or competency refresh is incomplete. In the hierarchy of controls, administrative measures still sit below elimination, substitution, isolation, and engineering, so they should not be treated as the preferred long-term answer when stronger controls are feasible.
