Recommended Practices for Safety and Health Programs

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.
