The Hierarchy of Control and our Product Range For each building structure or access issue, hazard identi fication should be completed to determine the potential for risk of injury, with solutions being determined within a four level hierarchy of control. Substitution MEDIUM Isolation LOW Fall Protection Based on this assessment, RIS are able to offer a solution tailored to your needs. The RIS Strategy Controls At RIS, our actions are clearly defined; Elimination • We will only promote and manufacture compliant products, equipment and services to meet the ever increasing demands of the marketplace. • We endeavour to act as a credible solutions provider to industry and not merely as a distributor of products. • We maintain strong relationships with our local and international suppliers to ensure that we offer the latest in height safety technology and products available. • An ongoing commitment to staff training ensures that our role as solution providers is maintained throughout our business. • When appropriate, our national branch network is utilised to consistently and dependably service the needs of our national client base. We call this our National Concept and find this is the approach preferred by organisations with multiple sites wishing to maintain a common safety strategy. Elimination HIGH Products Identified during our site audit process RIS would, where possible, recommend the elimination of the height safety risk through redesign. Substitution Also identified through our site audit process, if the elimination of risk through redesign is not possible, RIS would recommend the substitution of components, processes or systems. Isolation If substitution is not possible RIS would recommend the isolation of worker risk through the use of permanent edge protection systems (walkways and guardrails). Fall Protection If the risk cannot be isolated, RIS would then recommend the use of fall protection equipment (anchor points, harnesses, lanyards, vertical and horizontal systems).
