What does continuous monitoring involve in risk management for EVD driving?

• A. One-time safety check.
• B. Ongoing assessment and adjustment for safety.
• C. Ignore safety performance.
• D. Only monitor after incidents.

Answer: (B)

Continuous monitoring in risk management for EVD driving means you’re always watching safety conditions and adjusting your plan as things change. It involves keeping track of factors like vehicle status, road and weather conditions, patient status, traffic, crew readiness, and fatigue, then using that information to make timely changes—rerouting, reducing speed, securing equipment, or calling for additional help as needed. This ongoing feedback loop helps prevent problems before they become incidents and keeps procedures aligned with the current risks.

One-time safety checks miss evolving dangers, ignoring safety performance is unsafe, and waiting until after an incident to monitor is reactive rather than proactive.
