While determining control measures, all above assessments results are

considered and it shall be ensured.
B. The controls or changes to existing controls shall reduce the risks

according to the following steps.
.
a. Elimination
b. Substitution.
c. Engineering controls.
d. Administrative controls / signage / warning displays.
e. Personal Protective equipments (PPE).
The results of Hazards identification, Risk assessments and applicable controls

shall be documented. It shall be ensured that the documents are updated
periodically.
Example of Risk Management Control:
Risk:
Possible exposure to overhead electrical power lines over a

Potential Accident or Hazard

Serious injury/fatality
Action: Implement immediate corrective actions – discontinue

activity until risk is reduced.
Sample risk controls:
 Obtain work permit before starting any work under or near
electrical power lines.
 Personal induction.
 Find out electrical power rating (kv)
 Mark power lines on location map.
 No activity permitted in areas under power line until power lines
have been disconnected and/or relocated
 Administrative controls, i.e. Implement safe work instructions.
The role of management is to create an environment in which risks
can be identified, quantified and controlled and secondly to create a
forum or process in which positive risk assessment can occur.
N.B Risk management is a continuous cyclic process.
After a changing or altering risk control choices, risk assessment
should be repeated for new projects.
After carrying out risk assessment and adopting suitable control
