HAZARD
IDENTIFICATION
AND
RISK
CONTROL:
HIERARCHY
OF
CONTROL:
Relevant
workers
are
to
conduct
a
risk
assessment
of
the
proposed
task
Most and/or
workplace
using
the;
Effective Hierarchy
of
Control;
This
is
the
procedure
set
out
in
OH&S
Legislation
as
best
practice
for
the
Elimination
of
Hazards
or
the
control
of
the
risks
they
pose;
It
outlines
that
workplace
safety
can
generally
be
managed
by
these
five
basic
steps:
Identify
Hazards
Assess Risks
Elimination:
Removal
of
the
hazard
altogether;
(ideal)
Control
Measures:
Substitution:
Use
a
less
hazardous
substance,
material
or
process,
e.
g.
Work
off
a
scaffold
instead
of
a
ladder;
Redesign:
Involves
changing
the
design
of
the
workplace
or
the
work
process,
e.
g.
use
a
screeding
machine
instead
of
a
hand
screed;
Isolation:
Is
to
isolate
the
hazard
from
the
workers
or
the
workers
from
the
Least
hazard;
e.g.
establish
exclusion
zones
to
prevent
unauthorised
entry;
Effective
Administration:
Is
to
minimise
the
risk
through
procedures
or
instructions
e.
g.
job
rotation,
safety
instructions,
training
and
warning
signs;
Personal
Protective
Equipment
(PPE):
is
the
equipment
worn
by
people
as
a
final
barrier
between
themselves
and
the
hazard.
