Implement Hazard Controls
Assign workers the task of choosing, implementing, and evaluating the solutions they produce.
When implementing hazard controls, or any change for that matter, you must take small steps. This idea is central to Deming's PDSA Cycle as described in the image to the right.
As you can see, the first step is to design and develop hazard control strategies. Base your design on objective facts and best practices within the industry.
Next, implement the control strategies in a limited manner. If you have many facilities, implement the control strategy in one facility (unless an imminent danger situation exists).
See how the control strategy has improved the process or work area. If the control strategy works, then move on to the next step. If it doesn't work, revise the change or throw it out and start over.
If the control strategy works, then adopt it in all relevant locations. It is also important to conduct follow-up analysis by moving on once again to the cycle's first step.
