Lead
Guiding questions
Yes, but the lead sentence should be simplified. It is currently "Control banding is a qualitative or semi-quantitative
risk assessment and
management approach to promoting
occupational health and safety." I suggest changing it to "Control banding is a technique used to guide the assessment of workplace risks and the management of workplace exposures to protect workers."
No, because there is not much information provided in the article. I recommend including a History of Control Banding, Examples of Control Banding Toolkits, and Limitations of Control Banding.
Yes, because there isn't much of a "lead" paragraph.
