Control Banding Toolkit

The Control Banding Toolkit is a practical safety management tool designed to help businesses assess and control workplace hazards, especially when detailed data or specific regulations are unavailable. It groups similar risks into categories ("bands") based on factors like toxicity and exposure level. Then, it suggests appropriate control measures—like ventilation or protective equipment—matched to each risk level. This approach helps organizations quickly implement effective safety controls in a consistent and manageable way, ensuring worker protection even with limited resources or detailed hazard information.
