At my other posting, I wrote that every workplace will always potentially create its risk. This risk then become potential hazard in the future. Then soon become a hazard when it is not properly treated.
Hazard management is the next step after you as safety professional conduct the risk assessment. The best way to control and manage hazard is mechanical/ technical control.

- Administrative control (training, SOP, etc).
- Use PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) as final choice.
But, there is a better condition that you must consider in this hazard management, so you no need to give extra effort to apply this 3 steps of hazard management and control.
