3-Es : Corrective Action We can correct a hazard by mechanical means, can
eliminate the conditions or change the operationthat creates the hazards. We can repair the brokendefective part or we can put a guard on thedangerous machine part.
We can eliminate the cause by assigning people toother kinds of work. This applies more in relations toaccident prone workers. It has been found thatprobability of an accident can be reduced by achange in the environment
The corrective action can be applied throughdisciplinary measures. This method of approach maybe tried only when other methods have failed.
We can prevent accidents through the method ofinstruction and appeal, which is the most effective
way to get results.
