A cadet, newly joined and still learning the ship's systems, is asked to take part in a task-based risk assessment alongside more experienced crew. Does COSWP say anything about how a risk assessment should account for someone in the cadet's position?

A. No — risk assessment standards apply identically regardless of how long someone has been on board

B. New joiners are excluded from participating in risk assessments until they've completed six months on board

C. Yes — risk assessments should take into account temporary staff or those new to the ship or company who aren't yet fully familiar with the safety management system or other operational details, among other groups needing special consideration

D. Special consideration only applies to contractors, not to newly joined crew members

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
