If you isolate a hazard you place it where it is not possible to a person to be exposed to it. You do this by putting it out of reach or by enclosing it or placing other barriers between it and the people it might hurt.

You might place moving belts with pinch points near the ceiling where they are our of reach. You might enclose a noise source in such a way that the sound cannot get to people. These are examples of isolation.

What is the first choice for how to reduce or eliminate a hazard?

The first choice for reducing or eliminating a hazard is to implement engineering controls, which involve designing or modifying equipment, processes, or environments to minimize exposure to the hazard. This can include measures like replacing hazardous materials with safer alternatives, isolating the hazard, or using ventilation systems. If engineering controls are not feasible, administrative controls and personal protective equipment may be considered as secondary options. Prioritizing elimination or substitution of the hazard is essential for ensuring safety in the workplace.

Do all electrical power sources flow to earth e.g. Secondary winding of an isolating transformer with no earth connection on the neutral line?

There are situations where the secondary of a transformer is not grounded and the neutral is not connected to the neutral of the primary. This can cause a potential shock hazard so the secondary side needs to be protected.
