Objectives
Learn to implement systems to eliminate or
prevent hazards.
Learn about different types of hazard controls:
Hazard Control
Some control measures are more effective than
others at reducing the hazard.
Be aware of the different types of controls
available and the benefits and limitations of each.
Each of the SHMS models introduced in Lesson
1 require the implementation and maintenance of
hazard controls for risk reduction.
Hazard Control
The first consideration for controlling hazards is
to eliminate the hazard or substitute a less
hazardous material or process.
An example of this method is utilizing a waterbased paint rather than a solvent-based paint.
This control measure minimizes flammable
vapors as well as eliminates health concerns
associated with solvent-based paints.
Hazard Control
When it is not possible to eliminate a
hazard, you should control the hazard
using the following methods (in order):
Engineering controls
Administrative controls
Personal Protective Equipment
Hazard Control
Isolate Hazard
Redesign Workplace
Poll Question #1
Hazard Control
If engineering controls are not feasible you
must then consider implementing administrative
controls.
Administrative controls
No physical changes
Limits daily exposure to hazards by
Adjusting work tasks or schedules.
Poll Question #2
Poll Question #3
Hazard Control
The most effective control measure = all three
hazard control types.
For example, consider an operation that
generates silica dust.
A ventilation system may be installed to control dust
(engineering control),
Employees are trained and a sign is posted to warn
employees of dangers (administrative controls) and
Goggles are required to operate the equipment
(personal protective equipment).
Hazard Control
Scenario CHC Determines Hazard Control
Hazard Control
Hazard Control
Administrative Controls. Fall protection warning lines
could be installed 6 feet from the roof's edge to warn
employees when they are close to it. Although this is not
a physical barrier, employees will be warned of their
proximity to the roof's edge. Additionally, one employee
will be stationed near the warning line when work is being
done close to it. Employees have been trained in safe
work practices to prevent falls.
Personal Protective Equipment. Some of the
employees will work in an area with a roof skylight that is
not guarded with railings. These workers will be
instructed to wear personal fall arrest equipment and
lifelines attached to an appropriate anchor point.
Preventive Maintenance
A breakdown of equipment in your facility may
cause hazards.
For example,
Preventive Maintenance
Implement a written preventive maintenance
program,
Safety Equipment Examples - A confined
space entry gas monitor
Determine the intervals of required maintenance
on your equipment
Preventive Maintenance
Non-Safety Equipment Example.
Preventive Maintenance
When developing systems, be sure to include
one for Disciplinary actions that cover all
(employees, and contractors)
Ensure that it is applied consistently
Hazard Correction tracking hazards that have
been identified must be tracked in order to
eliminate and implement controls
Poll Question #4
Manage Change
A management of change program ensures
that any modifications or additions to your
equipment or processes are understood and
controlled, and includes:
Updating relevant building or equipment
drawings,
Modifying safety procedures, and
Training employees on the changes.
Manage Change
Such a program is required for processes
that utilize highly hazardous chemicals that
are subject to the OSHA Process Safety
Management program (29 CFR 1910.119).
However, this program is beneficial for all
changes in your business, even if OSHA
doesn't require it.
Manage Change
Conduct an analysis of new equipment and
processes
Develop a system to conduct:
Comprehensive survey,
JHA, or
Other worksite analysis technique on new equipment
or processes
Manage Change
Poll Question #5
Emergency Planning
Effective planning for emergencies and
non-routine events is another mechanism
of controlling hazards and avoiding
employee injuries. You have already
learned about the legal requirements for
emergency planning.

Contractor Safety
Most companies hire contractors at some
time to perform specific tasks for which
their own employees may not have the time
or expertise.
It is in your best interest to ensure that
contractors at your worksite(s) are
appropriately trained and follow all safe
work practices.

Prompt Control of Hazards
Ensure prompt correction and/or control of
any hazards that are identified under the
contractor's control.
Consider penalties such as contractor
correction and/or contractor dismissal for
repeated noncompliance by contractors,
vendors or individuals.
