A control measure is a deliberate intervention put in place to eliminate a hazard or reduce the likelihood or severity of harm in a workplace or operational context. It operates within a recognized hierarchy: elimination (removing the hazard entirely) takes priority over substitution (replacing the hazard with a less dangerous alternative), engineering controls (isolating people from the hazard), administrative controls (changing the way people work), and personal protective equipment (protecting the worker as a last line of defense). The persistence mechanism is a formal safety management system that documents, implements, monitors, and periodically reviews each control measure to ensure it remains effective and appropriate as conditions change.

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition properly carves control measures as deliberate interventions to eliminate or reduce hazard impact, within a recognized hierarchy. States parameters (elimination, reduction of likelihood/severity) and persistence mechanism (organizational implementation). Trailer present.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of control-measure properly carves: states what it is (deliberate intervention), parameters (hierarchy of elimination/substitution/engineering/administrative/PPE), and persistence mechanism (implemented in workplace safety systems). Law 4 satisfied. Trailer present.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Law 4: Well-carved definition. Control-measure is defined with its hierarchy position (elimination through PPE) and its purpose (eliminate or reduce harm). The persistence mechanism is organizational policy and physical implementation. Law 6 trailer present.
