2E Follow procedures to identify control measures to minimise risk

Every workplace includes a range of hazards; some of these are common to all industries and work roles, while others are industry- and job-specific. Regardless of your industry or job role, the hierarchy of control is considered best practice for containing and controlling risks. Organisations and their workers have obligations under federal and state/territory law to take all reasonable steps to ensure the safety of everyone in the workplace. The hierarchy of control can help health care, aged care and HACC organisations, managers and workers achieve this goal.
