Example of what you will learn

When considering control measures to reduce the risk, there's a certain order you should follow. This is called the hierarchy of controls. It's important to follow the hierarchy, as shown below, rather than starting with the lowest level of control measures. While the controls are listed in order of effectiveness, all five types of controls must be considered.
