Name of article: (Control Banding)
Control Banding and Health Hazard Banding are important approaches to protecting the workforce. The approach can be useful for small to medium sized companies without substantial financial resources.

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.
