Answer 1

Answer:

Economic changes would not be considered a risk that needs to be analyzed as part of the risk assessment process.

Explanation:

Risk assessment is the process of identifying events that could potentially cause harm, to an individual, business or the environment and analysing them to get an acceptable tolerance level.

Risk assessment determines the likelihood of an event happening, it's impact, and tolerability the entity can take.

The environment is a major consideration of risk assessment, as risk is always inherent as business interacts with its environment.
