Hierarchy of Risk Controls

Rare (Monthly)                  

1

Minor – e.g. small cut, first aid treatment only

1

Elimination is a permanent solution and should be attempted in the first instance.

Occasionally (Weekly)      

2

Moderate – e.g. sprained ankle, one day off required

2

Substitution involves replacing the hazard or environmental aspect by one of lower risk.

Frequent (Daily)                

3

Major – e.g. loss of limb or bodily function

3

Engineering controls involve physical barriers or structural changes to the environment  or process.

Constant (Hourly)             

4

Catastrophic – e.g. fatality
