Hierarchy of Controls Definitions

Elimination

Substitution

Isolation

This control measure involves eliminating or removing the risk in its entirety

This form of control involves substituting a safer process or material for the hazardous process/material found.

This control involves separating the hazard or hazardous work practice from employee’s other work areas. This may involve sectioning off the area by erecting barriers or by moving either the hazardous work practice or the „other‟ employees and their work practices.

Engineering

Admin

PPE

This method of control involves designing and/or adding physical safety features to plant or equipment.

This type of control is most effective when used in conjunction with measures mentioned above or as an interim control whilst more effective control measures are developed and implemented.

PPE is not a particularly effective control method and should only be used:

• When all other control measures are impractical; or

• In conjunction with other more effective, control measures.
