3.9.3 Decide on Control Measures for Hazards / Risks
Control measures shall be selected according to the Hierarchy of Controls. In order of preference, these are:
    1. Elimination - completely remove the hazard, or risk of exposure to the hazard. E.g. removal of a noisy machine
       from an otherwise quiet area or removing the need for stressful actions and movements by redesigning the work
       area or workflow.

    2. Substitution – replacing one substance or activity with a less hazardous one e.g. using a non-flammable solvent in
       the place of a flammable one or replacing an unstable machine with a stable one.

    3. Isolation - can the hazard be isolated from the worker or the worker from the hazard?
    4. Engineering – control the risk through engineering controls such as using enclosures, guarding, local exhaust
       ventilation, or automation e.g. installing guards on machinery

    5. Administration - policies and procedures for safe work practices e.g. Procedures to be followed for use of
       hazardous chemicals or processes, and lockout procedures.
    6. Personal Protective Equipment – PPE should only be used where other measures are not practicable e.g.
       respirators, ear plugs.

3.9.4 Implement Control Measures
Control measures shall be implemented into Safe Work Method Statements and will address the legislative criteria identified
in the Risk Register contained in the WHS Management Plan.
The Safe Work Method Statements must include the following Legislative Requirements;
    •   The activity / task being undertaken
    •   The companies ABN
    •   The control measures to be used
    •   The way the activity will be performed
    •   How the control measures will be monitored and reviewed
    •   Any relevant prescribed occupations
    •   The risk rating before applying control measures
    •   The residual risk after the control measures have been applied

3.9.5 Monitor and Review Control Measures
The monitor and review of control measures will be conducted during the project by means of Task Observations, regular
reviews and Audits of sites, and daily monitoring of employees and Contract Partners conducting work activities / tasks by
the Site Manager or his delegate.
The results will be recorded on Procore.
Task Observations shall be conducted by the Site Manager, Project Manager, relevant Contract Partner and if available, a
HSE Resource weekly for compliance against the respective Safe Work Method Statement, and to evaluate the effectiveness
of control measures included in the Safe Work Method Statement.
Control measures adopted, will be monitored to ensure their effectiveness during the work activity / task. Any deficiencies
and non-compliances of the control measures implemented in the Safe Work Method Statements identified during the
observations will be rectified immediately, and adjustments made to the applicable Safe Work Method Statement. All
amendments made to Safe Work Method Statements will be communicated to the workers via Daily Pre-Start Meetings,
Toolbox Talks, and during Safety Committee Meetings.
