Under the five steps to risk assessment, what is the first step?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Identify the hazards present in the work
- Step 1: HSE's five steps run: identify hazards, decide who might be harmed, evaluate risks and precautions, record findings, review. Step 2. Hazards must be found before anything else can be judged. Answer: Identify the hazards present in the work. Why not the others: Recording and reviewing come later, and blame is not part of the process.
