63
Principals of hazard control (in order of preference)
- Substitution
- Engineering Controls
- Admin Controls
- PPE
64
Substitution
- replacement of a process, material or equipment having a lower hazard potential
- ensure new substitute does not create a new hazard
65

67

68
PPE
- personnel wear special equipment to prevent/ reduce exposure to a hazard
- least preferred because PPE can fail
- PPE reduces the workers productivity
