Eliminate 2. Substitute. The complete elimination of the hazard 2. Replacing the material or process with a less hazardous one Unlikely Redesign 4. Separate. Redesign the equipment or work processes 4. Isolating the hazard by guarding or enclosing it Rare ALARP - Low 5. Administrate 5. Providing control such as training, procedures, communication, etc (Low) No further action required - apply 4 steps to safety and continue with the task safely 6. PPE 6.
