Incomplete option is Chief Inspector....Can the correct answer be this option ?

You're right to ask for clarification on the incomplete option!

Even if the incomplete option "Chief" was meant to be "Chief Inspector," the answer would still be the Employer.

Here's why:

• Employer: The employer has the ultimate legal and ethical responsibility for workplace safety. This includes ensuring that all required hazard assessments are performed, certified, and documented. They are the party accountable for the existence and validity of these certifications.
• Chief Inspector: A Chief Inspector (e.g., from a regulatory body) is typically responsible for enforcing safety regulations and auditing workplaces to ensure compliance. While they would check if the employer has performed and certified the assessment, they are not the party responsible for performing the verification in the sense of the primary duty holder. The question asks who "shall verify" that the assessment has been performed, implying the entity with the primary duty to ensure it happens.

Therefore, the Employer remains the correct answer as they bear the primary responsibility for ensuring and verifying that the hazard assessment is completed and certified.
