8.1.2 Eliminating hazards
Is the hierarchy of OHS controls correctly applied? Your organization must establish a process and determine the controls needed for achieving reduction in OHS risks using following hierarchy:

- Results of the context analyses (see 4.1 and 4.2) Hazard Elimination: avoiding risks, adapting work to workers, (integrate health safety and ergonomics when planning new work places; create physical separation of traffic between pedestrians and vehicles.
- Substitution: replacing the dangerous by non-dangerous or less dangerous (replacing solvent-based paint with water-based paint).
- Engineering Controls: Implement collective protective measures (isolation; machine guarding; ventilation; noise reduction etc.).
- Administrative Controls: Giving appropriate instructions to workers (lock out processes; induction; forklift driving licenses, etc.).
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Provide PPE and instructions for PPE utilization/maintenance, i.e. safety shoes, safety glasses, hearing protection, chemical & liquid resistant gloves; electrical protection gloves, etc.).
