Risk control
Risk control is a method of managing the risk
with the primary emphasis on controlling the
hazards at source. For a risk that is assessed
as high, steps should be taken immediately to
minimise risk of injury. The method of ensuring
that risks are controlled effectively is by using
the hierarchy of controls.
