Elimination
Elimination of the hazard is the most effective means of hazard control. It involves the physical removal of the hazard, for example, if employees are required to work high
above the ground, the hazard can be eliminated by moving the piece they are working on to "ground level" to eliminate the need to work at heights.
Substitution
The second most effective way to control hazards is substitution, which involves removing something that produces a hazard (similar to elimination) and replacing with
something that does not produce a hazard. An example of substitution is replacing lead based paint with acrylic paint. In order to be an effective control, the new product must
not produce another hazard. Because airborne dust can be hazardous, if a product can be purchased with a larger particle size, the smaller product may effectively be
substituted with the larger product.
Engineering controls
The third most effective means of controlling hazards is engineering controls. Engineering controls do not eliminate hazards, but rather keep people isolated from hazards.
Capital costs of engineering controls tend to be higher than those the less effective controls within the hierarchy, however they may reduce future costs (i.e. building a work
platform rather than purchasing, replace, and maintaining fall arrest equipment). "Enclosure & isolation" creates a physical barrier between a person and hazard, such as using
remotely controlled equipment. Fume hoods can be used to remove airborne contaminants as a means of engineering control.
Administrative controls
Administrative controls are changes to the way people work. Examples of administrative controls include procedure changes, employee training, and installation of signs and
warning labels (such as those in the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System). Administrative controls do not remove hazards, rather limit or prevent people's
exposure to the hazards, such as completing road construction at night when fewer people will be driving.
Personal protective equipment
Personal Protective Equipment (known as PPE) is the least effective way to control hazards. PPE can include gloves, respirators, hard hats, safety glasses, high-visibility clothing,
and safety footwear. PPE is the least effective means of controlling hazards because of the high potential for the PPE to become ineffective due to damage. Additionally, some
PPE, such as respirators, increase physiological effort to complete a task and, therefore, require medical examinations to ensure the worker can use the PPE without any
detrimental risk to his or her own health.
