In the ORM framework, which step involves putting in place measures to reduce risk?

• A. Identify hazards.
• B. Assess risk.
• C. Implement controls.
• D. Supervise/review.

Answer: (C)

Putting in place measures to reduce risk happens when you implement controls. In the ORM sequence, you first identify hazards and then assess how risky they are. After deciding which controls will be effective and feasible, you apply them to reduce either the chance of harm or the severity if something goes wrong. These controls can be engineering changes, administrative procedures, or personal protective equipment—anything that lowers risk. Supervising or reviewing comes after to ensure the controls are working and remain appropriate, but the actual act of decreasing risk is the implementation of those controls.
