Australia Model Code of Practice: Construction Work 3.3b: 3.3 Administrative controls and PPE only after higher controls, or to add protection

Administrative controls (keep out signs and a person securing an exclusion zone during scaffold dismantling, scheduling outdoor work outside peak UV, training programs for new equipment, job rotation, confined space permits, behaviour policies) should be considered only when higher order controls are not reasonably practicable or to increase protection. PPE is the lowest order control, relies on correct fit and use, needs thorough training and supervision, and should likewise be used only where higher controls are not reasonably practicable or as extra protection; examples are sun-protective hats or hard hat brims and neck flaps, sunglasses and SPF 30 or higher sunscreen, high visibility clothing, and hearing protection.
