    Which is the least preferred measure in the hierarchey of control/

    • Ventilation

    • Limit exposure

    • PPE

    • Good housekeeping

    Correct Answer
    A. PPE
    Explanation
    PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is the least preferred measure in the hierarchy of control because it is the last line of defense against hazards. It is used when other control measures, such as ventilation, limiting exposure, and good housekeeping, are not feasible or effective in eliminating or reducing the risk. PPE only protects the individual wearing it and does not address the hazard at its source. Therefore, it is considered the least preferred measure as it does not eliminate or minimize the risk as effectively as the other control measures.
