Yeah, it’s like the leftover risk after all our safety measures.

Wait, so we can never get rid of all risks? That sounds risky!

Azzie 12 months ago

I thought residual risk meant no response was taken at all?

Reita 12 months ago

Totally agree, it’s the risk we can’t fully eliminate!

Residual risk is what’s left after we try to manage risks.

I’m a bit confused. Isn’t residual risk just any risk that still exists? I thought it could be any of these options, but I’m leaning towards D.

I practiced a question like this before, and I think it was about risks that remain even after responses are implemented. So, B sounds right to me.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about risks that can’t be eliminated completely. Maybe that’s option C?

Alecia 1 year ago

I think residual risk is what’s left after we’ve done everything we can to mitigate it, so I’d lean towards option B.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on the Act to see who is responsible for grievance redressal.

This looks like a straightforward question about the types of event reports available from an Activity Report. I'll carefully read through the options and select the two that are correct.

I'm pretty confident it may not be option C because it deals more with mid-call signaling. I need to review the commands again.
