Place the 5 steps of the Risk Management process in order:

• A. Identifying Hazards, Assessing Hazards, Developing Controls and Making Decisions, Implementing Controls, and Supervise and Evaluate Controls
• B. Identifying Hazards, Developing Controls, Assessing Hazards, Implementing Controls, Supervise and Evaluate Controls
• C. Assessing Hazards, Identifying Hazards, Developing Controls and Making Decisions, Implementing Controls, Supervise and Evaluate Controls
• D. Identifying Hazards, Assessing Hazards, Implementing Controls, Developing Controls and Making Decisions, Supervise and Evaluate Controls

Answer: (A)

The sequence begins with identifying hazards because you can’t manage risk effectively until you know what could cause harm. Once hazards are identified, you assess them to determine how serious the risk is and where priorities lie. Then you develop controls and make decisions about which measures to put in place based on that risk assessment. After deciding on the controls, you implement them to reduce or eliminate the hazards. Finally, you supervise and evaluate to ensure the controls work, monitor for new hazards, and adjust as needed. Other sequences disrupt this logical flow—assessing before identifying, or implementing before developing controls, or skipping the planning step—because each step depends on the output of the previous one.
