Job rotation:  At Honda, every two hours during a shift workers move to a different position/task on the assembly line.

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question describes a practice at Honda where workers move to a different position or task every two hours during a shift. This is given as a choice between two types of controls, and we need to categorize it accordingly.
Option 1: 'this is an administrative control' - Administrative controls include policies, procedures, scheduling, training, and organizational practices designed to reduce risk without altering the physical design of the workplace. Job rotation fits this category because it is a management-driven scheduling practice intended to reduce repetitive strain, boredom, or exposure to specific hazards by varying tasks over time.
Option 2: 'this is an engineering control' - Engineering controls involve making physical changes to the workplace or equipment to eliminate or reduce hazards (for example, guards, barriers, redesigned machinery, or ergonomic workstation arrangements). Job rotation does not modify the physical setup or equipment; it changes how workers interact with tasks through scheduling, not by altering the environment itself.
Take note of the distinction: rotating people through different tasks is a management technique aimed at distributing exposure and training, whereas engineering controls would require tangible changes to the work system or machinery to mitigate risk.
In sum, the described practice emphasizes organizational process and scheduling rather than modifying the workstation or equipment, which points away from engineering solutions toward administrative ones.
