In hazard control implementation, which step comes after Evaluation?

• A. Anticipation
• B. Control
• C. Recognition
• D. Evaluation

Answer: (B)

In hazard control implementation, you move from assessing what needs to be done to actually putting safeguards in place. After evaluating a hazard—which involves judging its severity, likelihood, and the adequacy of current controls—the next step is to implement control measures to reduce or eliminate the risk. This is where you apply engineering, administrative, or other controls to lessen exposure and harm. Anticipation happens earlier, as you try to foresee what could go wrong. Recognition is about noticing hazards in the environment. Evaluation is the assessment that guides what controls are needed. So the step that follows evaluation is putting those controls into place.
