This section provides details for each class and property defined by NIOSH Control Ontology.

Classes

Administrative Controlsc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://openark.adaptcentre.ie/Ontologies/NIOSH-ControlOntology#AdministrativeControls

Administrative controls change the way work is done or give workers more information by providing workers with relevant procedures, training, or warnings. They’re often used together with higher-level controls.

Eliminationc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://openark.adaptcentre.ie/Ontologies/NIOSH-ControlOntology#Elimination

Elimination makes sure the hazard no longer exists. Most effective method

Engineering Controlsc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://openark.adaptcentre.ie/Ontologies/NIOSH-ControlOntology#EngineeringControls

Engineering controls reduce exposure by preventing hazards from coming into contact with workers. They still allow workers to do their jobs, though.

Personal protective equipmentc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://openark.adaptcentre.ie/Ontologies/NIOSH-ControlOntology#PersonalProtectiveEquipment

Personal protective equipment (PPE) includes clothing and devices to protect workers. PPE needs constant effort and attention (including proper use and training) from workers. Higher-level controls aren’t always feasible, and PPE might be needed in conjunction with other control measures. Least effective contols.

Substitutionc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://openark.adaptcentre.ie/Ontologies/NIOSH-ControlOntology#Subsitution

Substitution means changing out a material or process to reduce the hazard.
