Which statement is NOT a Risk Management principle?

• A. Accept no unnecessary risk
• B. Make risk decisions at the appropriate level
• C. Integrate RM into operations, activities, and planning at all levels as early as possible
• D. Avoid repeating the process after a single cycle

Answer: (D)

Risk management is an ongoing, repeatable process that is embedded in planning and operations at all levels. The idea is to continually identify, assess, decide, implement, monitor, and adjust as conditions change or new information emerges. Repeating the RM cycle ensures controls remain effective and the risk posture stays current.

The statement about avoiding repetition after a single cycle contradicts this continuous nature. If you stop after one pass, you could miss evolving risks or fails to adapt to new information, reducing overall safety and effectiveness.

The other principles fit this approach: never take unnecessary risk, ensure risk decisions are made at the appropriate level, and integrate RM into operations and planning from the start. That's why the option about not repeating the process is not a risk management principle.
