Covid-19 hierarchy of control

Summary

The Hierarchy of Controls is a system that is used to put in place effective controls within an organisation or wider community that identifies the most effective ways to control a hazard. In this diagram created by Doreen Geoghegan from the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology the inverted cone shows the most effective controls at the top and the least effective at the bottom in relation to Covid-19.
