4. Hierarchy of Safety Controls
Control the Hazard at Its Source
01. ELIMINATION
Remove the hazard where reasonably practicable.
02. SUBSTITUTION
Replace the hazard with a safer alternative where possible.
03. ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use physical or technical measures to separate people from hazards.
04. ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS
Use procedures, training, supervision, signage and safe work practices.
05. PPE
Use appropriate personal protective equipment for remaining risks.
The Most Effective Safety Approach Controls Hazards Before They Reach the Worker.
5. Workplace Safety Inspection
See the Risk Before It Becomes an Incident
Inspect areas such as:
Work and production areas
Machinery and equipment
Electrical installations
Housekeeping standards
Walkways and access routes
PPE compliance
Fire-protection arrangements
Work-at-height activities
Material handling operations
Chemical storage and handling
Emergency exits and evacuation routes
Safety signage and procedures
6. Risk Assessment Process
Identify → Assess → Control → Monitor → Improve
01. IDENTIFY
What hazards are present?
02. ASSESS
Who could be affected and what could happen?
03. CONTROL
What measures can eliminate or reduce the risk?
04. MONITOR
Are the controls effective and being followed?
05. IMPROVE
What further actions can reduce the risk?
7. Emergency Preparedness

Understand alarms, reporting methods and emergency communication.
7.2 Evacuation
Review evacuation routes, assembly areas and emergency responsibilities.
7.3 Fire Response
Understand fire prevention, fire equipment and appropriate initial response.
7.4 First Aid
Understand the role of trained first-aid personnel and emergency medical support.
7.5 Emergency Teams
Understand coordination between employees, supervisors, security and emergency-response personnel.
7.6 Hazardous Situations
