What does 8.1.2 require?

The organization sets up, runs and keeps processes for removing hazards and lowering OH&S risks by working down the hierarchy of controls: first remove the hazard; next replace it with processes, operations, materials or equipment that are less hazardous; then apply engineering controls and reorganize the work; then apply administrative controls, training included; and finally provide personal protective equipment that is adequate.

This control maps to 40 controls across 9 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
