As authorising officer, the Chief Officer is told about a changed condition affecting a permitted job but is reluctant to formally suspend the permit, reasoning that doing so creates extra paperwork and the crew can "just be careful" instead. What's the problem with this approach?

A. There is no real problem, since the crew's increased carefulness is itself an adequate control measure

B. The Chief Officer should suspend the permit only if specifically instructed to by the Master

C. The issue only matters if the changed condition involves an enclosed space

D. Treating a genuine change to the risk assessment as something to informally work around, rather than formally suspending the permit, undermines the entire purpose of linking permits to risk assessments — the paperwork exists to force a proper reassessment, not as a bureaucratic inconvenience to avoid

A. Daily, weekly, monthly, and annual risk assessments, based purely on time interval

B. Low, medium, high, and critical risk assessments, based only on severity rating

C. Generic risk assessments (company-level), task-based risk assessments (onboard, specific to the job), toolbox talks (discussing the assessment with those doing the work), and personal/dynamic assessment (an individual's ongoing informal check while working)

D. Deck, engine, catering, and bridge risk assessments, based on department

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
