                 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.
