Comparison between the residual risk level before and after the implementation of the action items will be used as a criteria in verifying the effectiveness of the action items. The comparison results should show that the after control measure implementation should yield a lower number of accident or injury or near-miss cases if the control measures implemented are effective in reducing the WSH risks, if not eliminated
