Eliminating hazards and reducing risks
Apply the hierarchy of controls: eliminate the hazard, substitute it, engineering controls, signage or administrative controls, and PPE as the last resort.
Management of change
When processes, equipment or working conditions change, evaluate the safety impact before introducing the change, not after.
Contractor coordination
When several companies work at the same site, prevention must be coordinated: exchanging risk information, verifying training and fitness, and controlling access.
What an auditor usually asks for
- A documented hierarchy of controls for each significant risk
- A safety impact assessment record for every change
- Up-to-date contractor coordination documentation for every contractor
- Access control for external personnel at every site
