    This document discusses how employers can effectively control and prevent workplace hazards to protect workers. It recommends that employers involve workers to identify hazards, evaluate control options using a hierarchy of controls, and develop and implement a hazard control plan. The plan should select controls to protect workers during emergencies and nonroutine activities, and employers should periodically evaluate controls and technologies to ensure ongoing protection.

    A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on

    something or someone. The CSA Z1002 Standard "Occupational


    health and safety- Hazard identification and elimination and risk assessment and
    control" uses the following terms: Harm - physical injuEffective 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.
    To effectively control and prevent hazards, employers should:

     Involve workers, who often have the best understanding of the conditions that create hazards
    and insights into how they can be controlled.
     Identify and evaluate options for controlling hazards, using a "hierarchy of controls."
     Use a hazard control plan to guide the selection and implementation of controls, and implement
    controls according to the plan.
     Develop plans with measures to protect workers during emergencies and nonroutine activities.
     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.

    Action item 1: Identify control options


    Action item 2: Select controls
    Action item 3: Develop and update a hazard control plan
    Action item 4: Select controls to protect workers during nonroutine operations and
    emergencies
    Action item 5: Implement selected controls in the workplace
    Action item 6: Follow up to confirm that controls are effective
    ry or damage to health
