Description

How to approach hazards and apply the hierarchy of controls

KEY TAKEAWAYS

· When faced with a hazard on a machine, it is really important to know how to manage those hazards.

· However there are times when the machine cannot run slower or have forces that a below hazardous limits and for it to function as a machine due to commercial reasons.

BEST MOMENTS

· The last two of the hierarchy of controls are really the last resort to be used as a primary control but will often be used to enhance other control measures.

· The machinery directive or regulations uses the three step method, and the hierarchy of controls can be broken down
