Other other hazards specific to activities and
third party risk assessments.
Elimination or Control Measures
Risks should be eliminated or minimised so as
far as is reasonably practicable, using the
following hierarchy of controls.
Eliminate: Remove the hazard. Change the
activity or stop it e.g. do not undertake
a particular high risk activity such as abseiling
in high wind; do not use high risk equipment.
Substitute: Replace the activity, material, or
equipment with a less hazardous one,
e.g. choose an easier bushwalk.
Isolate: Isolate the hazard from the person at
risk, through distance or barriers.
e.g. select a lunch location well away from the
water, check if a coastal walk has fencing.
Engineering controls: Consider hiring coaches
with seatbelts, ensuring equipment is guarded.
Administrative controls: Establish procedures
and safe practices, e.g. supervision of students,
clear rules, and instructions in safe work
methods, training staff, volunteers and students
or in the use of equipment, check qualification
of instructors.
Personal protective equipment: Use
appropriately designed and properly fitted
equipment such as safety goggles, hats,
sunscreen, helmets, in conjunction with other
control measures.
