Ways to Control a Hazard • Elimination • Engineering Controls • Administrative Controls • PPE
Elimination • Removing the hazard • Substitution • Most effective • Sandlot: Not an Option
Engineering Controls • Process Control • Automation • Ventilation • Enclosure/Isolation • Physical Separations • Sandlot- Fence
Administrative Controls • None in Sandlot • Education and Training • Standard Operating Procedures • Housekeeping • Emergency Preparation
Personal Protective Equipment • Gloves, Eye Protection, Footwear, etc. • Should Never be the Only Method! • Why Take a Risk? • ALWAYS protect yourself
As Future Engineers • Remember Dr. Schreiber’s Laboratory Motto: “Safety First” • Nothing Supersedes Safety in the Workplace • Always be Conscientious of Your Surrounding and Identify Potential Hazards • Injuries can be FOR-EV-ER
