Which sequence lists the risk management steps in the order described?

• A. identify hazards, assess the risks, control the risks, control the risks, record your findings, review the controls
• B. identify hazards, control the risks, assess the risks, record your findings, review the controls, control the risks
• C. identify hazards, assess the risks, record your findings, control the risks, review the controls, control the risks
• D. identify hazards, assess the risks, control the risks, record your findings, review the controls

Answer: (A)

The main idea is the logical flow of risk management: you must handle what you identify before you can properly control it, then document what you did, and finally check that what you put in place actually works. Identify hazards first so you know exactly what could cause harm. Then assess the risks to understand how likely those hazards are and how severe the consequences could be. Only after understanding the risk can you decide which controls are needed and put them in place. Once actions are taken, you document what you found and what controls were implemented. Finally, review the controls to verify they’re effective and to identify any improvements. This sequence follows that true, stepwise progression: hazards identified, risks assessed, controls applied, findings recorded, and controls reviewed. The other options move steps out of order (for example, applying controls before a full risk assessment, or recording findings before implementing controls, or skipping the review), which breaks the logical flow of effective risk management.
