Reviewing a task-based risk assessment submitted for a chemical handling job, the Chief Officer notices the only control measure listed is "crew to wear appropriate PPE." No consideration of substitution, ventilation, or procedural controls is documented. What should the Chief Officer do before approving it?

A. Approve it, since PPE is listed and the crew presumably know how to use it correctly
B. Reject the entire task rather than the assessment, regardless of whether the job itself is necessary
C. Approve it but add a note recommending PPE be inspected before use
D. Send the assessment back for revision — it should show that higher-ranked controls (substituting for a less hazardous product, engineering controls like ventilation, or administrative measures) were genuinely considered before falling back to PPE alone

An OOW is about to lead a small team in a non-routine, high-risk job — entry into a void space that hasn't been entered in months. A generic company risk assessment exists for enclosed space entry in general. What additional level(s) of assessment does the OOW need before this specific job can proceed?
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
