Selecting Risk Controls

<aside>

1. Any risk to health and safety must be eliminated if it is reasonably practicable to do so.

</aside>

<aside>

2. Any remaining risk must be reduced, so far as is reasonably practicable by:

• Implementing any mandated controls specified by law (eg. the OHS Regulations 2017)
• Substituting a new activity, procedure, plant, process or substance (eg. scaffold in preference to ladders)
• Isolating persons from the hazard (eg. fence off areas for mobile plant operation)
• Using engineering controls (guard rails, trench shields) </aside>

<aside>

3. If any risk to health or safety remains, it must be reduced by using:

• Administration controls (eg. activity specific training, work instructions, warning signs)
• PPE such as respiratory protection, hardhats, high visibility clothing </aside>
