Which element is NOT typically included in a hazard log?

• A. Hazard description
• B. Risk level
• C. Weather forecast for next week
• D. Residual risk and status

Answer: (C)

A hazard log captures what the hazard is, how risky it is, what controls are in place, what residual risk remains, and the current mitigation status. The hazard description communicates the nature of the hazard, and the risk level helps prioritize actions. Residual risk and status show what risk remains after controls and whether actions are complete. A weather forecast for next week is not a standard field in a hazard log; forecasts are external information and not part of the hazard's description, risk assessment, or status. If weather impacts exposure, you would note that as context or as part of control measures, but you wouldn’t treat the forecast as a separate log item.
