NOT a function of the final risk assessment report?

• A. Includes all raw data and identifying information
• B. Indicates range of hazard control options likely to be effective
• C. In some jurisdictions becomes a legal document
• D. Is used to promote contractor services

Answer: (D)

A final risk assessment report is an objective, data-driven document that records what was found about hazards, exposure, and risk, and it explains which controls are likely to be effective. It may also reflect how the assessment fits into regulatory or legal processes in some jurisdictions. What it should never do is serve as a marketing tool for contractor services. Using the report to promote a firm would bias the document, undermine its credibility, and potentially mislead about the strength of the evidence or the appropriateness of the recommended actions. The report’s purpose is to inform risk management and decision-making, not to generate sales. Raw data and supporting details are often included or made available to show how conclusions were reached (though privacy considerations may require redaction), and describing a range of hazard control options helps stakeholders choose appropriate, effective actions.
