Following the implementation of both risk treatments, the HSE manager performed periodic monitoring of the new practices. No new hazards were introduced with the two risk treatments. The results of implementing recommended higher‐level controls including substitution and elimination provided the following benefits to the organization:

 A reduction in the risk level of 67% for SO2 exposure risk to employees and surrounding community.

 A reduction in risk level of 75% for DMDC exposure risk.

 Improved employee morale.

 Eliminated EPA reporting requirements for SO2.

 Reasonably low costs for the potassium meta‐bisulfite (K2S2O5) effervescent tables and ease of use.

 Very little cost to relocate and shelter the DMDC metering machine outside of the winery (relocated the system to the outside of the building to eliminate the risk to employees in the bottling areas).
