Remove or stop the hazard if possible, remove the cause or source of the hazard, by eliminating the
machine, task or work process. If this is not practical, then substitute.

Substituion. Implement measures to reduce the likelihood and severity of the risk. If this is not
practical, then engineer.

Introduce enclosures and barriers around or between the hazard. Improve maintenance procedures. I
