Action and timescale

No further preventive action is necessary, but consideration should be given to more
cost-effective solutions, or improvements that impose no additional cost burden.
Monitoring is required to ensure that controls are maintained.
Efforts should be made to reduce the risk, but the cost of prevention should be
carefully measured and limited. Risk reduction measures should normally be
implemented within three to six months, depending on the number of people
exposed to the hazard
Work should not be started until the risk has been reduced. Considerable resources
may have to be allocated to reduce the risk. Where the risk involves critical work in
progress, the problem should normally be remedied as soon as reasonably practicable
but within one to three months, depending on the number of people exposed to the
hazard.
Work should not be started or continued until the risk level has been reduced. While
the control measure selected should be cost-effective , legally there is an absolute
duty to reduce the risk. This means that if it is not possible to reduce the risk even
with unlimited resources, then the work must not begin or must remain prohibited.
