What should be included when maintaining a hazard log during practice sessions?

• A. Record potential hazards, controls, and residual risk
• B. Only record hazards after incidents
• C. Record only controls
• D. Record participant names

Answer: (A)

Maintaining a hazard log during practice sessions focuses on proactive risk management: you identify potential hazards, note the controls you implement or plan to implement, and record the residual risk after applying those controls. This gives a complete picture of what could cause harm, how you’re reducing that risk, and what risk still remains to determine if more actions are needed. It helps you track whether controls are effective over time and decide if adjustments are required before the next session. Recording only hazards after incidents misses chances to prevent harm, recording only controls leaves you without understanding the risks being addressed, and recording participant names doesn’t contribute to safety management.
