Shoring of a trench or excavation can cause a caught-between hazard.
Engineering controls
Shoring of a trench or excavation can cause a caught-between hazard.
The first hazard control measure to be considered should be "Eliminate the hazard" through replacement or substitution of the hazard source. After that, in order, they are: * Use engineering to control the hazard and prevent exposure of people to it. * Establish and apply administrative procedures to prevent people being exposed to the hazard. * Require the use of personal protective equipment.
In the Hierarchy of Controls, the highest and most preferred control is "eliminate the hazard." After that comes "engineering controls."
Three steps to hazard control are: Hazard Identification: Recognize and assess potential hazards in the workplace or environment. Risk Assessment: Evaluate the likelihood and severity of harm that could result from identified hazards to prioritize control measures. Implementation of Control Measures: Apply appropriate strategies to eliminate or reduce the risks, which may include engineering controls, administrative changes, or personal protective equipment.
A hazard is when something is out of control or dangerous.
Hazard control is the process of seeking to assure that the possibility of an injury or illness does not become an actuality.
physical hazard
Some control measures that can be used to eliminate or reduce hazard include: lock off and permit to work procedures, provision of safe access and egress, use of guards and fumes extraction equipment, use of personal equipment.

Pathogen Reduction and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), were imposed in 1996
