•Risk= Likelihood x Consequence
•A) reduce the LIKELIHOOD of a hazardous event
•Table Saw likelihood 4
•Table Saw consequence 4
•Risk- 4x4=16
•INSTALL GUARD
•Likelihood now 1
•Consequence still 4
•Risk- 4x1=4

HIERARCHY OF RISK CONTROL
1. ELIMINATE the hazard
MORE EFFECTIVE
2. REDUCE the hazard
3. PREVENT CONTACT with the hazard
4. SAFE SYSTEMS OF WORK (SSOW)
5. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
LESS EFFECTIVE

HIERARCHY OF RISK CONTROL
1. ELIMINATE- Remove the ball
MORE EFFECTIVE
2. REDUCE- Change the ball
3. PREVENT CONTACT- Nets
4. SAFE SYSTEMS OF WORK (SSOW)- Training
5. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)Pads, helmet etc.
LESS EFFECTIVE
If 1 and 2 are not possible, look to implement a combination of 3, 4 and 5 to ensure
safety is maximised
