what factors make it difficult to eliminate hazards? (Select all that apply)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Employers should select the controls that are the most feasible, effective, and permanent.
How to accomplish it

Eliminate or control all serious hazards (hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm) immediately.
Use interim controls while you develop and implement longer-term solutions.
Select controls according to a hierarchy that emphasizes engineering solutions (including elimination or substitution) first, followed by safe work practices, administrative controls, and finally personal protective equipment.
Avoid selecting controls that may directly or indirectly introduce new hazards. Examples include exhausting contaminated air into occupied work spaces or using hearing protection that makes it difficult to hear backup alarms.
Review and discuss control options with workers to ensure that controls are feasible and effective.
Use a combination of control options when no single method fully protects workers.
Whenever possible, select equipment, machinery, and materials that are inherently safer based on the application of "Prevention through Design" (PtD) principles. Apply PtD when making your own facility, equipment, or product design decisions
