Which is NOT a component of a risk assessment in training?

• A. Identify hazards
• B. Assess likelihood and severity
• C. Determine controls and document actions
• D. Marketing impact

Answer: (D)

In a training risk assessment, the focus is on safety hazards and how to manage them. You start by identifying potential sources of harm that could occur during the training. Next, you assess how likely each hazard is and how serious the harm could be, which helps you prioritize which risks to address. Then you determine appropriate controls to reduce those risks and document the actions taken to implement them. Marketing impact isn’t part of this process because it deals with business or market consequences, not safety risks. For example, if a hands-on session involves tools, you’d consider possible injuries, how likely they are, the severity, and measures like PPE and supervision; marketing impact would belong in a separate planning discussion, not the risk assessment.
