RISK CONTROL OF MACHINERY AND
EQUIPMENT HAZARDS
RISK CONTROL OF GENERAL
HAZARDS
• Higher-order machinery and equipment risk controls are preventative
by nature, are effective and durable for the environment it is used in,
and deal directly with the hazard at its source.
• Lower-order machinery and equipment risk controls, such as
personal protective equipment (PPE), can prevent injuries, but are
• Pakihiwalay ng
generally not as effective as higher-order controls, as they rely more
on worker behavior, maintenance programs, and supervision.
• Administrative controls use systems of work to reduce risk by
providing a framework of expected behaviors. Examples are rotation
of staff to reduce exposure to a hazard, or a documented safe system
of work, such as ‘lockout tagout’. These types of controls rely on
extensive instruction, information, training and supervision.
Effective machinery and equipment risk controls reflect some or
all of the following characteristics:
• the hazard is controlled at its source
• contact or access to the hazard is prevented

• sturdy constructionto(correct materials with few points of
potential failure)
• fail-safe (failure of the control system to be effective will
result in machinery shut-down)
• tamper-proof design (as difficult as possible to bypass)
• presents minimum impediment to machinery and equipment

action.
 RISK CONTROL OF MECHANICAL HAZARDS
Separation is a simple and effective machinery and equipment risk control and may be achieved by distance, barrier or time.

• Distance separation means a person cannot reach the hazard due to distance.
• Barrier separation means an effective barrier or guard denies access and controls ejection of parts, products or waste.
• Time separation means at the time of access, the machinery and/or equipment is disabled.

Guarding • Adjustable guarding incorporates movable sections or

RISK CONTROL OF • PPE is a lower order control and can only be used where higher order controls are
not possible or are not totally effective.
NON-MECHANICAL • Selection and use of PPE requires careful consideration, as there are many different
types that reduce the risk of injury of contact or exposure to a hazard.

may cause harm.

• Isolating people from non-mechanical hazards is essential

for hazardous machinery and equipment emission controls,
and ventilation and extraction systems are used to remove
hazardous emissions from the work environment.
• Guarding may also serve to mute noise emissions through
the application of sound-absorbing materials. Other
emissions, such as lasers,• ultraviolet

potentially harmful exposure.
• Oil leaks from machinery and/or equipment may present a
serious slip hazard. By preventing oil leaks through routine
maintenance, or containing leaking oil with a drip tray or
through spill containment strategies, the risk the hazard
presents is controlled.
