Pin or Bolt: The horizontal component that is fixed across the two ends of the shackle body. Its function is to secure the load in place and ensure that the parts connected to the shackle do not separate. 3. Nut: It is fixed on the screw to secure it in place.

Hierarchy of Controls: Proactive VS Reactive VS Effectiveness Percentage

Image
 Hierarchy of Controls: Proactive vs Reactive vs Effectiveness Percentage: 1. Elimination (Proactive): Description: Completely removing the hazard from the workplace. Effectiveness: Approx.~100% (if the hazard is entirely removed, the risk is eliminated). Example: Redesigning a workflow to eliminate the use of a hazardous chemical. Why Proactive: This measure addresses the hazard before it can pose a risk, preventing it from occurring. 2. Substitution (Proactive): Description: Replacing a hazardous substance or process with a less hazardous one. Effectiveness: Approx.~80-90% (depending on how much safer the substitute is). Example: Using a non-toxic solvent instead of a toxic one. Why Proactive: This control changes the nature of the risk before it can cause harm, proactively reducing the hazard. 3. Engineering Controls (Proactive): Description: Isolating people from the hazard using physical means. Effectiveness: Approx.~70-90% (can greatly reduce exposure but may not eliminate th...
