Test hazards and block unsafe sequences before execution: Which additional control most directly addresses the
The evidence concerns physical harm during normal operation, so hazard testing and execution safeguards are the direct response.
The question
An energy company uses AI to prioritize maintenance work on transmission equipment. Cybersecurity testing shows that access controls and adversarial protections work effectively. Field testing, however, shows that some recommended work sequences could expose technicians to hazardous operating conditions. Assume validity, fairness, privacy, accountability, documentation, and human-review controls are adequate. Which additional control most directly addresses the evidence?

- Explain each sequence to maintenance supervisorsExplanations may support oversight, but merely explaining a hazardous sequence does not test or prevent the physical danger.
- Test hazards and block unsafe sequences before execution ✓Hazard testing identifies dangerous recommendations, and an execution safeguard can prevent them from reaching technicians. Together they directly address the observed safety risk.
- Strengthen authentication for model endpointsAuthentication reduces unauthorized access, but the documented hazard can occur during authorized use of the recommendation.
- Track performance drift across equipment classesDrift monitoring can identify changing validity or reliability, but it does not directly address unsafe work conditions already found in field testing.
The trap
Ask whether the harm results from attack or from ordinary system use; that distinction guides the control category. How to remember it
The evidence concerns physical harm during normal operation, so hazard testing and execution safeguards are the direct response.
