and / or modification
1 -3 Low Risk Acceptable without required further action
No action required unless escalation of risk is possible

Hierarchy of Control (Controls identified may be a mixture of the hierarchy in order to provide minimum operator exposure):
Elimination Eliminate the hazard.
Substitution Provide an alternative that is capable of performing the same task and is safer to use.
Engineering Controls Provide or construct a physical barrier or guard or technical measures
Administrative Controls Develop policies, procedures practices and guidelines, in consultation with employees, to mitigate the risk. Provide training, instruction and supervision about the hazard.
Personal Protective Equipment Personal equipment designed to protect the individual from the hazard.
