Which statement best describes the risk assessment process for a new handling procedure?

Risk management for a new handling procedure is an ongoing, iterative loop. After you implement controls, you re-evaluate to see how well they work and then adjust as needed. This keeps residual risk in check and allows you to respond if conditions change or if new information shows the controls aren’t as effective as hoped. Waiting to re-evaluate only after disposal or trying to re-evaluate instantly after solving hazards doesn’t support this ongoing, practical feedback process. Re-evaluating after implementing controls and making adjustments reflects real-world safety practice: verify effectiveness, then fine-tune as necessary.
