When you ship a liquid hazardous material, the material's specific gravity (a measure of density) can affect the type and strength of packaging required to contain the material in transportation.

If he adheres to the Hierarchy of Controls, which of these steps would Dr. Frankenstein take before the others to address the hazard his experiment poses?
Not quite.
Substitution ranks second in the Hierarchy of Controls, after eliminating the hazard (i.e., physically removing).
The Hierarchy of Controls is organized from the most- to least-effective method:
- Elimination - Physically remove the hazard.
- Substitution - Replace the hazard.
- Engineering Controls - Isolate people from the hazard.
- Administrative Controls - Change the way people work.
- PPE - Protect the worker with Personal Protective Equipment.
