The result of hazard assessment is which of the following?

• A. A schedule
• B. A prioritized list of hazards ensuring controls for the most serious threats
• C. A random list of hazards
• D. A budget plan

Answer: (B)

Identifying and ranking hazards to guide action is what hazard assessment delivers. In risk management, you first pinpoint potential hazards and evaluate how likely they are and how severe their consequences could be. The result is a prioritized list of hazards, paired with recommended controls, focused on the most serious threats so you know where to apply mitigation first and allocate resources effectively. A schedule is about when tasks happen, not which hazards to address. A random list shows no intentional prioritization, and a budget plan is about funding rather than identifying and ranking hazards. So the best outcome of a hazard assessment is a prioritized set of hazards with controls for the most serious threats.
