Which step involves putting the decided controls into action?

• A. Identify Hazards
• B. Assess Hazards
• C. Develop Controls and Make Decisions
• D. Implement Controls

Answer: (D)

Implementing controls is the action phase where the decided safety measures are put into place. After hazards are identified and assessed, and after you have developed and chosen which controls to use, the next step is to implement those controls. This means installing or enforcing the measures, training people, updating procedures, and integrating the safeguards into daily work so that the safeguards actually reduce risk. The earlier steps are about discovering hazards, evaluating risk, and deciding on solutions; none of those actively change how work is performed until the controls are put into action.
