    Effective hazard controls protect workers by avoiding injuries, illnesses, and incidents; minimizing or eliminating safety risks; and providing safe working conditions. Employers should involve workers to understand hazards and potential controls, evaluate control options using a hierarchy of controls, implement controls according to a hazard control plan, and develop emergency plans. They should also evaluate existing controls and review new technologies to ensure ongoing effective hazard prevention.

    Hazard Prevention and Control

    Effective controls protect workers from workplace hazards; help avoid injuries, illnesses, and
    incidents; minimize or eliminate safety and health risks; and help employers provide workers
    with safe and healthful working conditions. The processes described in this section will help
    employers prevent and control hazards identified in the previous section.

    In my opinion there are several ways for employers to effectively control and prevent
    hazards, which is involve workers, who often have the best understanding of the conditions that
    create hazards and insights into how they can be controlled. Besides that, identify and evaluate
    options for controlling hazards, using a "hierarchy of controls" . Furthermore use a hazard
    control plan to guide the selection and implementation of controls, and implement controls
    according to the plan. After that, develop plans with measures to protect workers during
    emergencies and nonroutine activities. Last but not least evaluate the effectiveness of existing
    controls to determine whether they continue to provide protection, or whether different controls
    may be more effective. Review new technologies for their potential to be more protective, more
    reliable, or less costly.
