Elimination through one method or another is the ideal control solution.

Substitution

If a hazard cannot be eliminated, can it be replaced with less hazardous materials, equipment or substances?

Engineering and Isolation

If the hazard cannot be eliminated or substituted, then it may be possible to isolate it. For example, a noisy piece of machinery may be moved to another location or confined within a room. A machine guard may be put in place - a remote handling technique may be employed.

Administrative Procedures

Job and or 'systems' of work can be redesigned by providing a variety of tasks, rotating jobs, reducing excessive workloads, regulating hours of work, ensuring adequate breaks. Further, routine maintenance and housekeeping procedures, as well as training on hazards and correct work procedures, can minimize exposure to hazards.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

This should be used only as a final resort. Personal protective equipment is the least expensive option and the least effective and should always be used in conjunction with other control methods. Examples include ear muffs, hard hats, rubber gloves, leather gloves, steel-toed boots, overalls, safety glasses).

PCBU (EMPLOYER) in a hospital workplace (toilet bathroom)

- Doesn't wear hair net when handling bleach

- Doesnt wear goggles for prevention of eye contact

- Any other hazardous factors needed ( e.g. spill containments/dispose or no MSDS)?

- Any ventilations?

Question:

Risk Assessment: Using the Hierarchy of Control, what are the recommendations needed to prevent hazardous factors/ safety of PCBU when handling Bleach on the following above?
