Principles of Control Hierarchy of Controls Risk Assessment Compliance Training and Awareness Emergency Preparedness Continuous Improvement Hierarchy of Controls The Hierarchy of Controls is a prioritized approach to workplace safety:
Elimination: Remove the hazard entirely.
Substitution: Replace the hazard with something less risky.
Engineering Controls: Design workplace changes to reduce risk.
Administrative Controls: Change work procedures or policies.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Use protective gear as a last resort.
Risk assessment in Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) is a systematic process to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential risks in a workplace or activity. It involves:
Identification: Recognizing and listing potential hazards.
Assessment: Evaluating the likelihood and severity of each identified risk.
Control Measures: Implementing measures to reduce or eliminate risks.
Monitoring: Regularly reviewing and updating the risk assessment as needed.
Risk assessment In Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE), compliance means following laws, regulations, and industry standards for safety and environmental protection. It involves implementing internal policies aligned with external rules and regularly monitoring and reporting adherence to ensure safety and legal responsibility.
Compliance Training: Providing education and instruction on safety protocols, procedures, and hazards to equip individuals with necessary skills and knowledge.
Awareness: Fostering understanding and consciousness regarding potential risks and safety measures among employees to promote a safety-oriented culture.
