3 What control measures could have been used to prevent or reduce the severity of the
accident?
Answer:
1: A key question for any risk assessment is, how exactly you are going to control the risks? After
all, a risk assessment isn't just a list of the risks. It's an assessment. You are assessing the risk and
deciding whether or not it is safe enough to proceed.
2: Once you have spotted the hazards involved and calculated the risks, you now need to get those
risks under control. A successful risk assessment should check the existing precautions you have in
place, and then decide if you need more to prevent harm.
3: The things you do to reduce the risk are known as control measures. Control measures are
needed in risk assessment, because what good is assessing risk if you don't reduce it? And what's
the point in a risk assessment if it doesn't make the job safe.
4: the elimination should always be the first control measure you consider. Ask yourself, can this
risk be removed entirely from this activity. Example Use extendable tools to eliminate work at height
5: Substitution is the second-best control measure you could use. Maybe could it be reduced by
replacing the material, substance or process with something less dangerous?
6: The engineering controls - usually fixed temporary, or permanent controls. Engineering controls
could be collective (protecting all workers e.g. edge protection for work at height
7: we have administrative controls. While this type of control is lower down in priority, it will often be
an essential part of your control measures. These are the rules and systems you put in place to
carry out the work safely
8: personal protective clothing and equipment (PPE). PPE is the last line of deference against a
hazard, so while it shouldn't be your first choice when controlling risks.
9: someone said (your employer, your supervisor or your health and safety representative) about
hazards you can't fix yourself, especially if the hazard could cause serious harm to anyone.
10: Make the changes it is your employer's responsibility to fix hazards. Sometimes you may be
able to fix simple hazards yourself, as long as you don't put yourself or others at risk.
11: hazard is to get rid of it altogether. This is not always possible, but your employer should try to
make hazards less dangerous by looking at the following options (in order from most effective to
least effective).
12: The Sometimes a less hazardous thing, substance or work practice can be used. (E.g. Use a
non-toxic glue instead of a toxic glue.)
13: Isolation - Separate the hazard from people, by marking the hazardous area, fitting screens or
putting up safety barriers.
14: areas where forklifts operate near pedestrians in the workplace. Safeguards can be added by
modifying tools or equipment, or fitting guards to machinery. These must never be removed or
disabled by workers using the equipment.
15: ask your supervisor for instructions and training before using equipment. This factor to be a
used to prevent or reduce the severity of the accident.

or reduce the severity.
