Safety and Health Programs
Published in William J. Reynolds, Safety and Health for the Stage, 2020
Taking into account both the prioritization of identified workplace hazards and the Hierarchy of Controls discussed above, a hazard control plan can be developed and implemented. Such a plan adopts a cyclical and interactive process as illustrated in Figure 3.5. The cycle is similar to any management plan: identify the risks and specify the hazards; assess the risks and rank various controls and mitigations; assign responsibilities, develop deadlines, and allocate resources; implement the hazard controls and risk mitigations; review and evaluate the effectiveness of the hazard control plan.
Organization and Management of a Laser Safety Program
Published in Kenneth L. Miller, of Radiation Protection Programs, 2020
Hazard controls can be engineering, administrative, or personal. The control types implemented shall minimize or eliminate the hazards identified by the LSO that are associated with the laser system. Table 1 lists some control measures and whether a laser class requires them. Although some controls are required either by regulations for manufacturers or because of the laser classification, the LSO should consider each laser and its use on a case-by-case basis. A research setting may require more and different controls than a surgical setting. Control(s) should not be required unnecessarily.
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
Published in Ron C. McKinnon, The Design, Implementation, and Audit of Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems, 2019
A hazard control plan describes how the selected hazard controls will be implemented. An effective plan should address major hazards first. Interim controls may be necessary, but the overall goal is to ensure effective long-term control of hazards. It is important to track progress toward completing the control plan and to periodically verify that controls remain effective (at least annually and when conditions, processes, or equipment change).
Integrating urban road safety and sustainable transportation policy through the hierarchy of hazard controls
Published in International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, 2022
We apply the established Hierarchy of Hazard Controls framework at the macroscopic scale of urban transport governance to classify, critically review, and prioritize a broad range of crash reduction measures detailed across the available research literature. The Hazard Control Hierarchy (HHC), also known as the Hierarchy of Hazard Control or Risk Control Hierarchy, is a risk management framework, originally developed in the 1980s and 1990s, aimed at informing decision-making in the design and management of dangerous industrial systems (Main & Ward, 1992; Manuele, 2005). The HHC prioritizes management methods which are most effective at decreasing the likelihood of adverse events occurring (Figure 1).
Forensic human factors and ergonomics analysis of a trip and fall event in a parking lot
Published in Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science, 2020
Designing out the hazard (eliminating or reducing it) is usually the most effective hazard control method. One way to reduce the likelihood of a trip and fall is to remove obstructions such as eliminating wheel stops, especially those that warp or have protruding bolts. If this had been done, Mrs. Lumens would not have been injured in the subject parking lot.
