In the deliberate RM process, what does the final step involve?

• A. Long-term tracking of the risks associated with an operation, activity or system
• B. Immediate hazard elimination
• C. Ongoing random testing
• D. Documenting only the initial assessment

Answer: (A)

Ongoing monitoring and tracking of the risks is the final step. After you’ve put controls in place, you continuously watch how those risks behave, verify that the controls stay effective, and update the risk record as conditions change or new hazards appear. This keeps risk reduction active over time and supports quick adjustments if the situation shifts. Immediate hazard elimination happens during earlier steps when risks are identified and mitigated, not as the final ongoing activity. Random testing isn’t a standard part of the deliberate RM sequence, and documenting only the initial assessment fails to capture the need for follow-up and adaptation over time.
