preventive measure
measure to eliminate workplace risks at source, through technical or organisational means or by providing protection
At the same time, a preventive measure put in place to tackle a specific risk can also help to prevent another one; for example, air conditioning put in place to combat high temperatures can also prevent stress, given that high temperatures are a potential stress factor.
