Be sure to consider all levels in the hierarchy of controls.  Analyze the effectiveness of each control measure by assessing the risks before and after the control is implemented.  Provide your recommendations for which control measures should be implemented and why you chose them.  Your submission must be a minimum of two pages, not including title and reference pages, and follow APA guidelines.
