unless hazard control measures recommended in the analysis
are incorporated into the tasks. Managers should recognize
that not all hazard controls are equal. Some are more
effective than others at reducing the risk.
The order of precedence and effectiveness of hazard
control is the following:
1. Engineering controls.
2. Administrative controls.
3. Personal protective equipment.
Engineering controls include the following:
Elimination/minimization of the hazard—Designing the
facility, equipment, or process to remove the hazard, or
substituting processes, equipment, materials, or other
factors to lessen the hazard;
Enclosure of the hazard using enclosed cabs, enclosures
for noisy equipment, or other means;
Isolation of the hazard with interlocks, machine guards,
blast shields, welding curtains, or other means; and
Removal or redirection of the hazard such as with local
and exhaust ventilation.
Administrative controls include the following:
Written operating procedures, work permits, and
safe work practices;
Exposure time limitations (used most commonly to
control temperature extremes and ergonomic hazards);
Monitoring the use of highly hazardous materials;
Alarms, signs, and warnings;
Buddy system; and
Training.
Personal Protective Equipment—such as respirators,
hearing protection, protective clothing, safety glasses,
and hardhats—is acceptable as a control method in the
following circumstances:
When engineering controls are not feasible or do not
totally eliminate the hazard;
While engineering controls are being developed;
When safe work practices do not provide sufficient
additional protection; and
During emergencies when engineering controls may not
be feasible.Use of one hazard control method over another higher in
the control precedence may be appropriate for providing
interim protection until the hazard is abated permanently.
In reality, if the hazard cannot be eliminated entirely, the
adopted control measures will likely be a combination of all
three items instituted simultaneously., SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true)
