June 17th Hierarchy of Controls

Safety Activity: Watch this 3 minute video on the Hierarchy of Controls

Safety Topic: Administrative Controls: Are procedures for safe work methods that reduce the duration, frequency, or severity of exposure to a hazard. Administrative controls include gradual introduction to work, regular recovery pauses, job rotation, job design and maintenance and housekeeping. One example would be redesigning a job that normally requires two hours of continuous handling, to include a five-minute recovery period (performing housekeeping duties with little or no manual handling) for every 15 minutes of continuous handling.
