Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks you to identify all statements that are correct regarding risk assessments for chemicals or tasks. 
Option a: 'Risk assessments must be completed prior to the experiment or task being commenced.' This is correct because risk assessments are intended to be done in advance to identify hazards, evaluate risks, and implement controls before work begins, ensuring safety and compliance. 
Option d: 'In order to complete the risk assessment on a chemical the SDS of the chemical hazard must be consulted.' This is correct because the Safety Data Sheet provides essential hazard information, physical/chemical properties, handling instructions, and control measures that feed into an accurate risk assessment. 
Note that there are no other options provided in the list to evaluate here, so these two align with standard safety practice: plan first, and use authoritative hazard information (SDS) to inform the assessment. 
If a statement claimed that risk assessments could be skipped or done after the task, or that the SDS is irrelevant, those would be incorrect; but such options are not presented in this question. 
In practice, both scheduling the assessment before starting and consulting the SDS are fundamental steps in a proper risk assessment workflow, reinforcing proactive safety culture.
