Which of the following is an example of an administrative control to prevent occupational injuries?

  1. Using a machine guard

  2. Mandatory seat belt policy

  3. Personal flotation devices

  4. Ground fault circuit interrupters

The correct answer is: Mandatory seat belt policy

Option A is incorrect because using a machine guard is an example of an engineering control, not an administrative one. Option C is incorrect because personal flotation devices are typically used to prevent drowning and are not specific to occupational injuries. Option D is incorrect because ground fault circuit interrupters are a type of electrical safety device and do not directly relate to occupational injuries. Option B is correct because enforcing a mandatory seat belt policy is an administrative control that can prevent occupational injuries by promoting safe driving habits and reducing the risk of injuries in the event of a car accident.
