Which step of risk assessment involves recording the findings?

• A. Identify the risks
• B. Identify who can be harmed and how
• C. Record findings
• D. Review assessment and update if necessary

Answer: (C)

Recording the findings is the step where you put the results of the risk assessment into writing. After you’ve identified hazards and who could be harmed and how, documenting the assessment creates a concrete record of what was found, the level of risk, and the actions chosen to control it, along with who carried out the assessment and when. This written record is what you share with staff, use for training, and refer back to during reviews or audits. The other steps focus on discovering hazards or who is at risk and on updating things later, but they don’t produce the formal written record of the assessment’s results.
