Here are some top measures to control workplace hazards:
Conduct Hazard Assessments: Regularly assess your workplace for potential hazards and risks. This will help identify potential hazards and allow you to implement control measures before they become a problem.
Implement Administrative Controls: Administrative controls involve changing the way people work to minimize exposure to hazards. Examples include job rotation, limiting exposure time, and increasing the distance between the worker and the hazard.
Provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): PPE is equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cannot be eliminated through other control measures. Examples include gloves, hard hats, safety glasses, and respirators.
Implement Engineering Controls: Engineering controls are physical changes made to the workplace to reduce or eliminate hazards. Examples include machine guarding, ventilation systems, and noise barriers.
Implement a Safety Program: Develop and implement a safety program that includes hazard identification, employee training, and regular safety inspections.
Train Employees: Train employees on workplace hazards and how to properly use PPE and follow safety procedures.
Monitor and Review: Monitor your safety program and hazard controls regularly to ensure they are effective and continue to meet the needs of your workplace.
By implementing these measures, you can help control workplace hazards and create a safer workplace for your employees.
