Control Hazards and Risks
What I Need to Know
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the skills in electrical installation and maintenance. The scope of
this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The
lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the
order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the
textbook you are now using.

What’s In
Risk control measures are actions that are taken in response to a risk factor
that has the potential to cause accident or harm in the workplace. The
control measures can either be designed to reduce the risks or eliminate
them completely.

out those tasks by substituting less harmful substances or changing the
work environment through engineering controls. Also consider changing
how work activities are organized and performed. For example, reduce the
time workers are exposed to a hazard by rotating them to another task.
Once a hazard has been identified and the risk assessed, control measures
should be put into place. A simple list of control measures can be utilized -
the hierarchy of control.
• Identify hazards,
• Analyze or evaluate the risk associated with
that hazard.
• Determine appropriate ways to eliminate or
control the hazard
Examples:
• Use extendable tools to eliminate work at
height.
• Materials delivered cut to size to remove the
use of blades.
• Cordless equipment to get rid of trailing cables.

2. Substitution
The risk may not be removed entirely but could be reduced by replacing the
material, substance, or process with something less dangerous.
Examples:
• Replacing ladders with tower scaffolds.
• Substituting a hazardous chemical with a safer alternative.
• Changing high-level vibrating equipment with newer equipment with
less vibration exposure.
4. Administrative Controls
These are rules and systems to carry out the work.
Examples:
PPE is the last line of defense against a hazard, so while it should not be
your first choice when controlling risks, it can give added protection for any
remaining level of risk, or should other controls fail.
Examples:
6
• Use of ear defenders when using noisy equipment.
• Harnesses and lanyards where the risk of falls cannot be eliminated
completely.
• Hard hats where there may be falls of tools or materials overhead.
Remember to make sure all the controls work well together, are detailed in
your risk assessment, communicated to your team, and are regularly
reviewed and maintained to make sure they remain effective.
