The control of documented information should not have the effect of, nor be for the purpose of, preventing workers from obtaining a full and complete picture of the hazards and risks of their work. The confidentiality of personal information of individuals should be respected. Operation Operational planning and controls General Operational planning and controls should be established and implemented as necessary to enhance occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards or, if impossible, to reduce the OH&S risks to levels as low as reasonably practicable for operational areas and activities. When planning and developing operational controls, priority should be given to control options with higher reliability in preventing work-related injury and ill health. Operational controls can use a variety of different methods, for example: the introduction of procedures and systems of work; ensuring the competency of workers; establishing preventive / predictive maintenance and inspection programmes; specifications for the procurement of goods and services; compliance with preventive regulations and manufacturer's instructions for equipment; engineering controls (physical devices such as barriers) followed by administrative controls (warnings, safety signs, alarms and signals, or access control procedures and other work instructions). adapt work to workers. Work can be adapted to workers by, e.g.: defining, or redefining, how it is organized; the induction of new recruits; defining, or redefining, processes and working environments to workers; designing a new workplace and new equipment by ergonomic approaches, etc. The OH&S management system’s processes and activities should be established to ensure that operational controls are implemented effectively (see 9.1.1), and actions taken to mitigate issues or determined nonconformities (see 10.1). Hierarchy of controls The hierarchy of controls is intended to provide a systematic approach to enhance occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards, and reduce or control OH&S risks. Each step is considered less effective
