Correct answer: A — Offer the worker the report for review and confirm consent before release

Good OH practice supports transparency and informed consent for reports. The employer commissioning the assessment does not remove the worker's confidentiality rights. The worker should have an opportunity to understand what will be shared and to withhold consent, subject to limited exceptions. This builds trust and reduces misunderstanding.
