    Applying the hierarchy of risk control
    It is considered that there is a hierarchy of risk control options. By
    calling them a hierarchy, it indicates that there are a number of risk
    control options, but that some are considered to be better or more
    preferable than others
     Think about a situation where an operator is working in a control
    room with a cement mill running next to it. You are the OH&S
    Officer and do a noise exposure survey
     You find that anyone who spends 8 hours there will get an average
    noise dose of 91 dB(A)
     When you check the standard, you find that the maximum allowable 8
    hour average is 85 dB(A); and
     you know that each extra 3 dB(A) a person is exposed to actually
    doubles their noise dose as it is a logarithmic scale
     You decide to think of some control options and try to apply the
    hierarchy of risk controls to decide the best one to use

    Applying the hierarchy of risk control
     After a brain storming session, the control options that
    you come up with are:
     Giving the operator hearing protection
     Centralizing the mill controls so that control room is closed
     Putting double glazing between the mill and the operator
     Changing the operator regularly during a shift so as to limit
    exposure to noise
     Changing from steel to rubber liners in the mill

     What do you end up doing?
