17. HEALTH, SAFETY AND RISK HIERARCHY OF RISK CONTROL 1.ELIMINATE the hazard 2.REDUCE the hazard 3.PREVENT CONTACT with the hazard 4.SAFE SYSTEMS OF WORK (SSOW) 5.PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) MORE EFFECTIVE LESS EFFECTIVE

18. HEALTH, SAFETY AND RISK HIERARCHY OF RISK CONTROL 1.ELIMINATE- Remove the ball 2.REDUCE- Change the ball 3.PREVENT CONTACT- Nets 4.SAFE SYSTEMS OF WORK (SSOW)- Training 5.PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)- Pads, helmet etc. MORE EFFECTIVE LESS EFFECTIVE If 1 and 2 are not possible, look to implement a combination of 3, 4 and 5 to ensure safety is maximised
