Answer
TRUE
Explanation
Risk assessment refers to the overall process or method where one identifies hazards and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm (hazard identification), analyzes and evaluates the risk associated with that hazard (risk analysis and risk evaluation), and determines appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard, or control the risk when the hazard cannot be eliminated (risk control). Therefore, the statement is true - a risk assessment identifies the hazards and then considers who is at risk of harm from those.
