Maritime Questions › Risk Assessment Mcq Full

An OOW notices that a task the ship now performs regularly uses a different piece of equipment than the one described in the relevant risk assessment, following an equipment upgrade six months ago. Does this situation actually require the assessment to be formally reviewed, or is it just a minor documentation gap?

A. This is purely a documentation matter for the company ashore and not something the OOW needs to raise
B. Review is only required if the equipment change has already caused a near-miss or incident
C. No — only changes to personnel, not equipment, are considered significant enough to trigger a review
D. Yes — a significant change to the equipment involved in a task is exactly the kind of change that should trigger a formal review of the risk assessment, and the OOW should raise this rather than treat it as a minor documentation detail to work around informally

A cadet is told that risk assessment on board isn't just one document but happens at four different levels, including something as informal as a quick personal check before starting a task. What are these four levels, broadly?
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

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
