I frequently quote the risk control hierarchy - eliminate, minimise, isolate, control, reduce, SOW and PPE, or some hybrid I think is appropriate at the time. It is general theory picked up in my diploma course but I've never been too sure of its origins. It doesn't look enough like the 'Principles of Prevention to be Applied' advice in the MoH&SaW ACOP so I doubt if that is the source.
Can anyone tell me where it might come from?
Thanks

I seem to remember someone once saying that it came from the original COSHH Regs. Where it was called the 'hierarchy of control'
I'm sure one of our colleagues will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that to be it's origin.

You're right Ed. That's where I took the concept from in about 1990, polished it a bit and put it into 'Principles'.
I called it the 'safety precedence sequence', mostly to avoid any chance of a mix-up with the 'Heirarchy of Needs' (Maslow). You can have too much of a good heirarchy in my opinion, and it offers the chance to demonstrate that one can't spell, as well!
