 How to protect yourself and your colleagues systematically?

🛡️ Risk control sequence in the work environment

The risk control sequence is an effective framework used to determine the most appropriate methods for workplace risk mitigation, depending on a pyramid order starting from most effective to least. Implementing this model ensures a safer and more efficient working environment.

🔵 1 . Elimination ( Elimination )

Completely removing the hazard from the work environment.

Example: Stop using a hazardous machine or cancel a task involving hazards.

🔵 2 . Substitution ( Substitution )

Substitute a substance or a dangerous action with a safer alternative.

Example: Using a nonflammable substance instead of a highly flammable substance.

🟠 3 . Engineering Controls

Make modifications to the environment or equipment to isolate workers from the source of danger.

Example: installation of barrier or advanced ventilation system.

🟡 4 . Administrative Controls

Change policies or procedures to reduce time exposure.

Example: Changing working hours or organizing tasks to reduce the number of workers in a hazard area.

🌀 5 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Using protective equipment such as helmets, gloves, and goggles as a last line of defense.

Note: This equipment is not considered as a substitute for risk control from its source, but a supplement to it.

🎯 This model helps build a protective conscious culture within institutions, and is the basis for occupational safety planning and training.
