As the officer responsible for a multi-person mooring operation, the Chief Officer has a written task-based risk assessment on file from a similar job last month. Pressed for time before arrival, the Chief Officer decides to skip the toolbox talk and just hand the crew the paperwork to read individually. Is this acceptable?

A. Yes, as long as the Chief Officer verbally summarises the job in under a minute beforehand
B. Yes, provided every crew member signs to confirm they read the document
C. Yes, since the risk assessment itself already documents the hazards and controls
D. No — a toolbox talk should be conducted before work involving more than one person with significant risk to people or assets, specifically to talk through the job and the assessment's findings together, not simply to distribute paperwork for individual reading

A. Nothing further — the generic company risk assessment for enclosed space entry already covers this job
B. Only a toolbox talk is needed, since the team already knows the general hazards of enclosed spaces
C. A new generic risk assessment must be drafted and submitted to the company before this job can proceed
D. A task-based risk assessment specific to this entry and these personnel, followed by a toolbox talk walking the team through its findings before work begins
