                 ·         Substitution- It helps to remove the risk by putting/substituting with something similar.

                   ·         Engineering controls- it helps to minimize the risk by redesigning the jobs/tasks.

            ·         Administrative controls- it helps to minimize the risks by training the employees/staff how to minimize the risks by complying with safe work procedures.
