Rosie's answer

Published by SALUS

I was not able to find specific documentation about the elements of the hierarchy of control for a workplace hazard in the provided knowledge base. Generally, the hierarchy of controls is a system used to minimize or eliminate exposure to hazards. It is a widely accepted system promoted by numerous safety organizations and is a fundamental part of workplace safety. The levels of the hierarchy are:

1\. Elimination: Physically remove the hazard. 2\. Substitution: Replace the hazard. 3\. Engineering Controls: Isolate people from the hazard. 4\. Administrative Controls: Change the way people work. 5\. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Protect the worker with personal protective equipment.
