hazard control which utilises the involvement of management authority or administrative structures in order to eliminate hazards or reduce their effects. This is in the case of occupational environments which have a governing structure. This method entails such activities as rotation of jobs, having work and rest schedules, enrichment of jobs and having worm rates.
5. Use of personal protective equipment(P. P .E)
P. P. E are any devices that are worn by people in order to protect themselves against hazards. They include ear plugs to prevent noise pollution, safety goggles to protect eyes from too much light or particles such as dust, hard hats to protect the head and gloves in order to protect hands from being exposed to hazards. This is the least effective method of hazard control and is only effective in the following situations:
- When engineering control do not eliminate the hazards.
- At the time when engineering control are being put in place.
- When the administrative controls are not enough.
- During occurrence of unplanned events and accidents.
