Which action best describes the 'monitor outcomes' step in CASA's risk management process?

Monitoring outcomes means checking how effective the risk controls are once they’re in place. It involves collecting real-world data, looking at safety indicators, incident and near-miss reports, and feedback from operations to see whether the risk level has actually dropped to an acceptable level and whether the controls are functioning as intended. This creates a feedback loop in the risk management process, so you can adjust controls if the expected risk reduction isn’t occurring or if new hazards appear. It’s about verification in practice, not just trusting the initial assessment. Relying only on the initial assessment ignores how conditions can change, and ignoring post-implementation results means you might miss ongoing or new risks. Focusing only on weather or other single factors misses the broader point of whether the chosen controls are delivering the desired risk reduction.
