explanations.
1. Read about the hierarchy of safety management controls and answer
the following question:
Define what is meant by safety management controls. (2)
Safety management controls are structured methods used in
occupational health and safety to eliminate, reduce, or manage
hazards that could cause harm to workers. They are applied
systematically, following a recognised hierarchy of controls that ranks
strategies from the most effective (removing the hazard altogether) to
the least effective (relying on protective equipment). The goal is to
prioritise long-term, reliable solutions that protect the greatest
number of people.
List and explain the five levels of the hierarchy of controls, starting with
the most effective. (5)
1. Elimination (most effective)
This means physically removing the hazard so there is no longer
any risk of harm.
Once the hazard is gone, workers are fully protected without
needing further measures.
However, elimination is not always possible, especially in
industries where the hazard is an essential part of the process.
