Effective risk control measures are systematic approaches to eliminate or minimize workplace hazards. This guide outlines proven methodologies aligned with ISO 45001, OSHA, and hierarchy of controls principles to help organizations implement robust safety protocols.
(Most to Least Effective)
| Control Level | Measure | Example | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Elimination | Remove hazard | Replace toxic chemical with non-toxic alternative | 100% risk removal |
| 2. Substitution | Replace hazard | Use water-based paints instead of solvent-based | Up to 90% reduction |
| 3. Engineering Controls | Isolate people | Machine guards, ventilation systems | 70-85% reduction |
| 4. Administrative Controls | Change work practices | Job rotation, training programs | 50-70% reduction |
| 5. PPE | Protect worker | Hard hats, respirators | <50% reduction |
Fall Prevention: Guardrails > Safety nets > Harnesses
Struck-By Hazards: Exclusion zones > Spotter systems
Machine Safety: Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) > Light curtains
Chemical Exposure: Closed systems > Local exhaust ventilation
Biohazards: Needleless systems > Sharps containers
Ergonomics: Lift assists > Patient transfer training
H2S Protection: Fixed detectors > Escape respirators
Fire Prevention: Inert gas systems > Hot work permits
