What is the Hierarchy of Controls?
A system safety professionals use to rank hazard
prevention and control strategies by their
effectiveness:
Eliminate the hazard
Limit employees’ exposure to the hazard
![Page 13: Moderator: Stacy Rose, CSP · Protect your employees Reduce workers’ comp costs Increase productivity Improve employee morale Earn Texas Mutual dividends* 600% return on investment](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063013/5fcb1298db4e5462ec6f6177/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Should be your constant expectation
Management leads by example
Train new employees, current employees who assume new tasks
Provide regularly scheduled refresher training

• Enclose hazard, create barriers
o Safety guards on machines
• Substitute something that is not a hazard
o Acrylic-based paint instead of lead-based paint
Engineering Controls
