OHS Control Methods
Measuring the amount of risk helps in prioritizing and determining the control methods to use to provide the best protection for people, plant,
equipment and property. The following hierarchy of controls must be used when determining the bet methods of controlling the risk associated
with the identified hazards.
Once the control methods have been determined the risk assessment is carried out again and the risk score recorded in the residual risk score
column. It is important to take this step. Firstly to ensure that no additional risks have been created by the control methods and secondly, to show
the reduced level of risk still existing at the time the work is done.
Hierarchy of Control
1. Any obligation under OHS Regulation 2001 to control a risk by taking specific risk control measures, or by taking specific risk control
measures in a particular order, is in addition to the obligations referred to in the Hierarchy of Controls.
2. To control a risk to health or safety (in any case in which the elimination of the risk is not reasonably practicable) we must take the following
measures (in the order specified) to minimize the risk to the lowest level reasonably practicable:
Firstly, substituting the hazard giving rise to the risk with a hazard that gives rise to a lesser risk,
Secondly, isolating the hazard from the person put at risk,
Thirdly, minimizing the risk by engineering means,
Fourthly, minimizing the risk by administrative means (for example, by adopting safe working practices or providing appropriate
training, instruction or information),
Fifthly, using personal protective equipment.
3. A combination of the above measures is required to be taken to minimize the risk to the lowest practicable if no single measure is sufficient for
that purpose.
