Hazard controls should be applied whenever there is an increased or unacceptable risk or hazard.
If the initial hazard control choice cannot reduce residual risk to an acceptable level, it is necessary to implement additional control measures. This may involve using a combination of controls, such as engineering, administrative, or personal protective equipment, to further mitigate the risk. Additionally, a reassessment of the hazard and a review of alternative controls should be conducted to identify more effective solutions. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of the implemented controls are also essential to ensure ongoing effectiveness.
Engineering controls
No. Often the simplest controls are the most effective.
Leaders can supervise compliance with hazard controls during a mission by ensuring subordinates understand how controls are implemented and adjusted as situational awareness demands.
Controls that take the form "a hazard exists" are typically referred to as "hazard identification and assessment controls." These controls focus on recognizing potential hazards and evaluating their risks before they lead to incidents. They include measures such as safety audits, risk assessments, and hazard analysis, which aim to identify and prioritize risks for further action. By acknowledging that a hazard exists, organizations can implement appropriate preventive measures and create safer environments.
