Which sequence describes a hazard analysis for a maintenance task?

• A. Identify hazards
• B. Assess risks
• C. Implement controls
• D. Identify hazards, assess risks, implement controls, communicate to the team, and document in a risk assessment.

Answer: (D)

The sequence that covers hazard analysis for a maintenance task includes identifying hazards, assessing risks, implementing controls, communicating to the team, and documenting in a risk assessment. This approach starts by locating potential dangers, then evaluates how likely and how severe each danger is. With that understanding, you choose and apply controls to reduce risk to an acceptable level. Sharing these hazards and controls with everyone involved ensures the team works with awareness and consistency. Finally, documenting the analysis creates a formal record for accountability and future reference. The other sequences stop short: identifying hazards alone doesn’t address risk; assessing risks without controls or communication leaves priorities unclear; implementing controls without informing the team or recording the analysis misses awareness and traceability.
