TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Risk reduction strategies: Past, present and future JO - Professional safety, journal of the American Society of Safety Engineers A1 - Jensen, Roger C. SP - 24 EP - 30 VL - 52 IS - 1 N2 - In 1973, William Haddon proposed a list of 10 strategies for preventing and mitigating hazards of all kinds. This article reviews subsequent refinements and alternate proposals. It also proposes a new list consisting of one strategy for eliminating the hazard and eight for mitigating risks associated with the hazard. Each strategy is illustrated by several examples. The nine risk reduction strategies are shown to fit logically into a three-level hierarchy of controls that could be used by design teams employing a risk assessment process.
