2. Reduce the risk to health or safety by any one or any combination of the following:
• Substituting a new activity, procedure, plant, process or substance
• Engineering controls, such as mechanical or electrical devices.
3. Use administrative controls, such as changing the way the work is done.
4. Provide appropriate personal protective equipment.
5. All contractors should be briefed on the SWMS before commencing work. Ensure all contractors know that work is to immediately stop if the
SWMS is not being followed.
6. Observe work being carried out. If controls are not adequate, stop the work, review the SWMS, adjust as required and re-brief the team. Page | 3
