Hierarchy of Risk Controls


Elimination is a permanent solution and should be attempted in the first instance.
Substitution involves replacing the hazard or environmental aspect by one of lower risk.
Engineering controls involve physical barriers or structural changes to the environment or process.
Administrative controls reduce hazard by altering procedures and providing instructions.
Personal protective equipment last resort or temporary control.
