Rethinking the Hierarchy of Controls and How to Use it to Reduce Risks

Wyatt Bradbury, Principal – Health and Safety at Avetta, joins us to discuss the hierarchy of controls and its role in helping reduce risks in the workplace. He shares why it’s important for EHS professionals to examine the effectiveness of the controls at their job sites to help ensure they are reducing risk to an acceptable level. He also explains “active” and “passive” controls, the “transition of illusion” between engineering and administrative controls and why EHS professionals should prioritize “passive” controls and reevaluate residual risks.
