Q

Hierarchy of Safety Controls

A
  • engineering controls (design the hazard out, install interlocks and fail-safes, etc.)
  • administrative controls (job rotation, limiting exposure times, running hazardous operations on “back shifts”, etc.)
  • PPE

Q

Protecting employees from workplace hazards

A
  • employers must protect employees from workplace hazards such as machines, hazardous substances, and dangerous work procedures that can cause injury
  • Employers MUST:
    • use all feasible engineering and work practice controls to eliminate and reduce hazards
    • then use appropriate PPE if these controls do not eliminate the hazards (Remember, PPE is LAST level of control!)

18
Q

Summary of PPE: Employees must implement a PPE program:
