Could it be using the hierarchy of control?
1. Eliminate – remove the hazard completely from the workplace. This is the most effective control measure and must always be considered before anything else.
2. Substitute – if the hazard cannot be eliminated, substitute or replace the hazard with a less hazardous work practice.
3. Isolate – as much as possible, isolate the hazard or hazardous work practice from people.
4. Engineering controls – these are physical control measures i.e. adapt tools or equipment to minimise the risk.
5. Administrative controls – these should only be considered when other higher order control measures are not practicable. These are work methods or procedures that are designed to minimise the exposure to a hazard e.g. implementing a training program, using permit systems.
