  1. What is the first step in NCED risk assessment?

    Answer: Identifying potential hazards and threats

    Risk assessment begins with systematic identification of all potential hazards, forming the foundation for all subsequent analysis.

  2. What is the hierarchy of controls in NCED risk management?

    Answer: Elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, then PPE

    The hierarchy prioritizes the most effective controls first, from eliminating the hazard to using PPE as last resort.

  3. What is a risk matrix used for in NCED practice?

    Answer: Evaluating risks by plotting likelihood against impact severity

    A risk matrix plots probability against consequences to prioritize which risks need immediate attention.

  4. What does residual risk mean in NCED practice?

    Answer: Risk remaining after all controls are implemented

    Residual risk is the level remaining after practical controls are applied. Some is usually accepted as eliminating all risk is rarely feasible.

  5. Why is regular review important in NCED risk management?

    Answer: Conditions change and new risks emerge requiring updates

    Regular reviews ensure assessments remain current as conditions change and lessons from incidents are incorporated.

  6. What is a near-miss report in NCED practice?

    Answer: Documentation of an event that could have caused harm but did not

    Near-miss reports document events where harm almost occurred, providing data to prevent future incidents.
