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. 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
