What are the three 3 control measures?
When we look at control measures we often refer to the hierarchy of control measures.
- Eliminate the hazard.
- Substitute the hazard with a lesser risk.
- Isolate the hazard.

How are roof exposure categories determined?
An exposure category shall be determined in accordance with the following: Exposure B. For buildings with a mean roof height of less than or equal to 30 feet (9144 mm), Exposure B shall apply where the ground surface roughness, as defined by Surface Roughness B, prevails in the upwind direction for a distance of not less than 1,500 feet (457 m).
What is exposure C on a building code?
Exposure C. Exposure C shall apply for all cases where Exposure B or D does not apply. Exposure D. Exposure D shall apply where the ground surface roughness, as defined by Surface Roughness D, prevails in the upwind direction for a distance of not less than 5,000 feet (1524 m) or 20 times the height of the building, whichever is greater.
What is exposure B on a roof?
For buildings with a mean roof height of less than or equal to 30 feet (9144 mm), Exposure B shall apply where the ground surface roughness, as defined by Surface Roughness B, prevails in the upwind direction for a distance of not less than 1,500 feet (457 m).
