The costs involved are outweighed by worker safety and this option eliminates the risk of injury.

Are the controls eliminating or minimising the risk?
    * Yes – the interlocking guard prevents people from putting their hand in the mixing bowl.
Are there any new problems with the risk?
    * No.

Jane repeated these steps for each hazard that she identified. The review of the work activities and the implemented control measures improved the safety in the bakery department at the grocery store.
