Lecture · Risk Management
The Hierarchy of Control in Practice
Protective equipment is the last line of defence, not the first. This lecture works through the hierarchy of control — elimination, substitution, engineering, administration and PPE — using real workplace examples to show why the order matters and where teams commonly skip straight to the bottom.
What you will take away
By the end of this session you will understand the key principles behind risk management and be able to apply them to your own workplace with confidence. The lecture keeps the theory practical and connects every point back to the relevant EN standards and tools available across SafetyOrbit.
