A cadet is told that not every task on board needs a brand-new written risk assessment every single time it's performed. Does this mean some tasks don't need risk assessment at all?

A. No written or verbal risk assessment is needed if the task takes less than 30 minutes

B. Yes — routine tasks are exempt from any form of risk assessment once a crew member is experienced

C. Yes — only tasks involving permits to work require risk assessment of any kind

D. No — every task should be subject to risk assessment, but for simple, routine tasks this can mean referring to an existing risk assessment during a toolbox talk, rather than writing a new one from scratch each time

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
