Which item is NOT one of the actions in step 4 of the Risk Management Process?

• A. Identify risk
• B. Make implementation clear
• C. Establish accountability
• D. Provide support

Answer: (A)

Step 4 of the risk management process is about making risk decisions and ensuring those decisions are actionable. After hazards are identified and potential controls are considered, this step focuses on deciding which controls to implement, assigning who is responsible for them, and making sure the plan to put those controls in place is clear and supported. Identifying risk belongs to the earlier step where hazards are first recognized, not Step 4. The ideas of clarifying how the controls will be implemented, establishing accountability, and providing the necessary support fit Step 4 because they deal with turning decisions into concrete actions and ownership.
