PMLS LESSON 9 PART 7 Flashcards
(36 cards)
Actions and control measures that are put into place to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with biological agents and toxins
mitigation
how do we mitigate risk?
by using the order of priorities
enumerate the order of priorities?
elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls and lastly ppe
order of priority is aka?
hierarchy of controls
it is where Control methods at the top are potentially more effective and preventive than those at the bottom
order of hierarchy
Do not eliminate hazards.
engineering controls
Immediately combined with shift to another with a much lower risk
substitution
Also known as organizational measures.
administrative controls
The least effective way to control a hazard.
ppe
Total removal of the hazards
elimination
A permanent solution
elimination
The third most effective means of controlling hazard is
engineering controls
Replacing the hazards by one that presents a lower risk
substitution
Replacing the hazards by one that presents a lower risk
substitution
administrative control is aka?
organizational measures
how is the administrative control ables to mitigate?
establishing policies and procedures to lower the risk
The 2nd most effective way to control hazards
substitution
Total removal of the hazards
elimination
Physical means that limit the hazard
engineering controls
Structural changes
engineering controls
Job scheduling, Posting hazard signs; Restricting access; Training
administrative controls
Organizational measures
administrative controls
Erecting a barrier Local exhaust ventilation
engineering controls
Documentation
adminstrative controls
