What should a safety risk assessment cover?

• A. Identified hazards, risk levels, mitigations, and responsible persons.
• B. Funding sources, grant deadlines, and sponsor names.
• C. Aesthetics, color scheme, and branding consistency.
• D. Customer requirements, market analysis, and logistics.

Answer: (A)

Safety risk assessment is a structured process to identify hazards, judge how risky they are, plan controls to reduce those risks, and assign people responsible for making sure the controls are in place. This combination—listing identified hazards, rating the risk levels, detailing mitigations, and identifying who is responsible for follow-up—captures the full cycle from recognizing what could cause harm to ensuring actions are taken and tracked. By identifying hazards, you know what could go wrong. By rating risk levels, you understand which hazards need attention first. By specifying mitigations, you outline concrete steps to reduce risk. By assigning responsible persons, you create accountability and ongoing oversight.

The other options focus on funding, aesthetics, or business logistics, not on assessing or controlling safety risks, so they don’t address the purpose of a safety risk assessment.
