harm. It is part of the process used to evaluate if any situation,
item, thing, etc., may potentially cause harm.
The goal is to find and record possible hazards that are present in

Hierarchy of Controls
What are the Hierarchy of Controls
Engineering Control
Administrative Control
PPE
are strategies designed to protect workers from hazards and involve a physical change to the workplace itself.
It is considered the most effective in preventing or reducing hazards because it mainly controls the source’s hazardous condition.
Engineering Controls
Different approaches considered as Engineering Control
Elimination
Substitution
Isolation and Containment
Redesign/Modification/Automation
Ventilation
the most effective approach means
physically removing the hazard or the
situation/material/process that causes a hazard.
Elimination
a strategy in which a material or process

Substitution
refers to the physical

worker to the hazard.
Isolation and Containment
to change the physical operating conditions.
Redesign/Modification/Automation

Work Practices
inform workers on how to
conduct their work safely and ensure that they
understand the hazards and risks of the job.
Education and Training
__________ must provide information on how to protect themselves and others.
Training
rotate employees between a hazardous
task and a non-hazardous ask to reduce the length of
exposure.
Job Rotation
maintaining cleanliness and
orderliness. It is essential in preventing the
accumulation of hazardous or toxic materials.

It is a control directed to the receiver (workers)
It is any device/equipment that is constructed or manufactured under OSH standards or law and used by individuals to reduce the injury potential of the hazard.

Reduce Exposures
Provide Protection during activities
Provide Protection during emergencies and to supplement other controls.
Drawback of PPE

Types of PPE
- Eye and Face Protection
- Head Protection
- Hand and Arm Protection
- Foot and Leg Protection
- Hearing Protection
- Respiratory Protection
- Torso or Full Body Protection
- Fall Protection
When should hazard identification be made?
During design and implementation
Before tasks are done
While tasks are being done
During inspections
After incidents
