Prepare safe work method SELECTING RISK CONTROLS: Any risk to health, safety or environment must be eliminated, or if that is not reasonably practicable, reduced so far as is reasonably practicable by:

   

Implementing any mandated controls specified by law. Substituting a new activity, procedure, plant, process or substance (e.g. scaffold in preference to ladders). Isolating persons from the hazard (e.g. fence off areas for mobile plant operation). Using engineering controls (e.g. guard rails, trench shields) - or a combination of the above.

If any risk to health or safety remains, it must be reduced by using:  Administration controls (e.g. activity specific safety training, work instructions, warning signs). 

More Effective

PPE (e.g. respiratory protection, hardhats, high visibility clothing) - or a combination of the above.

Critical controls are crucial to preventing an unwanted event or mitigating the consequence of an unwanted event. This symbol denotes critical controls that must be in place to safely carry out high risk work tasks. If the critical control is not in place or is not working effectively: STOP work immediately, make safe and only continue work if the control is working effectively. Report the hazard or incident to a Service Stream Supervisor.
