Which set lists the key steps of a risk assessment in sport?

• A. Identifying hazards, assessing risk, implementing controls, reviewing effectiveness
• B. Planning event schedule, budgeting, marketing, evaluating attendance
• C. Checking equipment, training staff, charging fees, reporting incidents
• D. Setting goals, monitoring progress, providing feedback, awarding prizes

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is the sequence used to carry out a risk assessment in sport. In risk assessment you start by identifying potential hazards that could cause harm during sport activities or events. Then you assess the risk by judging how likely the hazard is and how serious the harm could be. After that you implement controls to reduce the risk, such as changes to equipment, rules, supervision, or the playing environment. Finally you review how effective those controls are to ensure the risk is actually reduced and to adjust if needed. This cycle shows a proactive, systematic approach to safety.

The other options describe broader planning or management tasks (like event planning, budgeting, marketing, or performance management) that aren’t the step-by-step process used to identify hazards, evaluate risk, control it, and review outcomes.
