HAZARDS CONTROL

In this part, we will eliminate or correct the hazards. Based on this, we choose the Hierarchy of
control to control those hazards under the list evaluation of risk for the compaction activity been
carry on by all the people under building group. Under the Hierarchy of Control where we
would used to Eliminate the Risks ( ER ), Substitute the Risks ( SR ), Isolated the Risks ( IR ),
Personal protective Equipment ( PPE ), Administrative Control (AC) or Away from Hazards
Area ( AFHA ) based on controlling those risks happen to any else.
