This hierarchy emphasizes the prioritization of higher-order controls, such as the elimination, substitution, and isolation of the hazard, as the most effective means of mitigating the hazard.<\/p>\n

Please note that the Mining and Quarrying Safety and Health Regulation 2017<\/a> mandates the application of controls in this specific order to ensure the safety of workers in such environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The hierarchy of controls is a widely accepted framework for managing and controlling workplace hazards.<\/p>\n

It prioritizes various control measures in a specific order to minimize or eliminate hazards. Here’s a breakdown of the hierarchy of controls and examples of dust controls for each level:<\/p>\n
