What is the sequence of the Army's risk management (RM) process?

• A. Identify hazards, assess risk, develop controls, implement, and supervise
• B. Identify hazards, assess risk, implement controls, supervise, and monitor
• C. Identify hazards, assess risk, develop controls, implement, and evaluate
• D. Identify hazards, assess risk, implement controls, monitor, and supervise

Answer: (C)

The sequence being tested walks you from spotting what could cause harm to checking that the fixes actually work. Start by identifying hazards so you know what could go wrong. Next, assess risk by considering how likely each hazard is and how severe the potential harm could be. Then develop controls—design preventive measures to reduce those risks. After that, implement the controls, putting the chosen measures into action. Finally, evaluate whether the controls are effective and whether any remaining risk is acceptable, making adjustments as needed.

Other sequences move or omit steps in ways that miss this logical flow—the buildup of understanding hazards, prioritizing risks, creating and applying fixes, then formally checking their effectiveness. Remember, evaluation is the formal check that the controls reduce risk to an acceptable level, informing any necessary changes.
