Risk Management

• Selecting control measures
  1. Eliminate the risks, so far as is reasonable practicable.
  2. If this is not reasonably practicable, minimise them so far as reasonably practicable by:
  • substituting the hazard
  • isolating the hazard
  • implementing engineering controls.
  3. If the risk still remains, minimise it further by implementing administrative controls.
  4. If the risk still remains, minimise it by ensuring the provision and use of suitable personal protective equipment (PPE).
