Which step involves evaluating the risks?

• A. Identify Hazards
• B. Assess the Risks
• C. Monitor and Review
• D. Evaluate the Risks

Answer: (D)

Evaluating the risks is the step where you decide how serious the risks are and whether they are acceptable. After hazards are identified and the risks analyzed, this stage applies predefined criteria to judge the significance of each risk and determine what actions are needed. It’s about making the judgment on risk levels, prioritizing which risks require controls, and whether current controls are adequate or new ones are needed. Monitoring and review, by contrast, checks how well controls are working over time, and identifying hazards or assessing risks are about discovery and analysis. So this step best fits the idea of turning analysis into a go/no-go decision on risk treatment.
