-HIERARCHY of the CONTROL

-ENERGY ISOLATION
-(Presenter Vusal Abbasov)
HIERARCHY OF THE CONTROL
Types of Health Hazards
Types of Health Hazards
 Chemical
 Physical
 Biological
 Ergonomic
Routes of Exposure
 Inhalation: through nose and/or mouth
 Ingestion: through the mouth
 Absorption: Through the skin
 Injection: because of a puncture
(PSM)PROCESS SAFETY
MANAGEMENT
 A key element is the “Process Hazard Analysis”.
 PSM elements include a step called “Understanding and
Evaluating Risk“ which needs to be done properly to be
"fit for purpose".
 "Risk assessment" is often left to the HSE and risk
specialists instead of being carried out with the
involvement of operational and maintenance personnel.
 Some companies still fail to examine and evaluate with
the necessary depth those risks linked to activities.
 Part of this presentation shows what process safety “risk
assessment” actually means and how it can be done
correctly.
RISK ASSESSMENT
What is RA?
Risk Assessment is a method of looking at our work activities,
considering what could go wrong, and deciding on control
measures to prevent loss, damage or injury in the workplace.
RISK ASSESSMENT
how do we measure risk?

SIX TYPE
OF THE CONTROL
HIERARCHY OF THE CONTROL
HIERARCHY OF THE CONTROLS
 The “Hierarchy of Controls” should be used
at all times when implementing controls to
eliminate the hazard or reduce the risk of a
hazard causing loss / damage / injuries.
Types of the controls
More effective
Less effective
What do we mean by ELIMINATION?
• Elimination of the hazard is the most effective
means of hazard control. It involves the
physical removal of the hazard, for example, if
employees are required to work high above the
ground, the hazard can be eliminated by
moving the piece they are working on to
"ground level" to eliminate the need to work at
heights.
SUBSTITUTION
 The second most effective way to control hazards is
substitution replace the hazard with a lesser hazard.
Be careful to assess what new risks the substitute
may pose. An example of substitution is replacing
lead based paint with acrylic paint. In order to be an
effective control, the new product must not
produce another hazard. Because airborne dust can
be hazardous, if a product can be purchased with a
larger particle size, the smaller product may
effectively be substituted with the larger product.
ENGINEERING CONTROL
 The third most effective means of controlling
hazards is engineering controls. Engineering
controls do not eliminate hazards, but rather
keep people isolated from hazards. Capital
costs of engineering controls tend to be
higher than those the less effective controls
within the hierarchy, however they may
reduce future costs
ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS
 Theses controls are made by establishing
policies and procedures to lower the risks
– job scheduling to limit exposure
– posting hazard signs
– restricting access
– training.
BEHAVIOUR CONTROL What is
this?
 Following safe work practices, workplace
good housekeeping, personal hygiene
practices.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
 PPE is the least effective way to control hazards.
– There is a very high potential for PPE to become ineffective
due to damage.
– Some PPE, such as respirators, increase physiological
effort to complete a task and require medical examinations
to ensure the worker can use the PPE without risk to his or
her own health.
What can include PPE?
 PPE can include gloves respirators, hard
hats, safety glasses, high-visibility clothing,
and safety footwear.
