What should be included in risk assessments and SWMS documentation?

• A. Hazard identification, control measures, and residual risk.
• B. Division of staff cafeterias.
• C. Product marketing plans.
• D. Only incident reports.

Answer: (A)

Identifying hazards, applying controls, and recording residual risk. Risk assessments and SWMS focus on spotting what could cause harm, choosing practical measures to reduce that harm, and then noting the risk that remains after those controls are in place. This structure ensures proactive planning: you know what could go wrong, you put in place controls to prevent or lessen it, and you document the leftover risk to decide if more action is needed. Other topics like dividing staff cafeterias, marketing plans, or relying only on incident reports don’t systematically address hazards, the control steps, and the residual risk required for safe work documentation.
