OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT (ORM)

Back 1

ORM is a systematic, decision-making process used to identify and manage hazards that endanger naval resources. ORM is a tool used to make informed decisions by providing the best baseline of knowledge and experience available. ORM is a tool for both on and off duty; it encompasses a 5 step process that requires constant review for new hazards or engineering controls available.

IDENTIFY HAZARDS

Back 3

Identify hazards. Begin with an outline or chart of the major steps in the operation or operational analysis. Next, conduct a preliminary hazard analysis by listing all of the hazards associated with each step in the operational analysis along with possible causes for those hazards.

ASSESS HAZARDS

Back 4

Assess hazards. For each hazard identified, determine the associated degree of risk in terms of probability and severity. Although not required, the use of a matrix may be helpful in assessing hazards.

Front 5

MAKE RISK DECISIONS

Back 5

Make risk decisions. Develop risk control options. Start with the most serious risk first and select controls that will reduce the risk to a minimum consistent with mission accomplishment. With selected controls in place, decide if the benefit of the operation outweighs the risk. If risk outweighs benefit or if assistance is required to implement controls, communicate with higher authority in the chain of command.

IMPLEMENT CONTROLS

Back 6

Implement controls. The following measures can be used to eliminate hazards or reduce the degree of risk; Engineering controls, administrative controls, and personnel protective equipment.

Front 7

SUPRIVSE

Back 7

Supervise. Conduct follow-up evaluations of the controls to ensure they remain in place and have the desired effect. Monitor for changes, which may require further ORM. Take corrective action when necessary.

MISHAP CLASSES

Back 8

There are three different classes A, B, C of mishaps identified by the Naval Safety Program; the level is determined by monetary means and injury classification.

Front 9

CLASS A

Back 9

Class A. The resulting total cost of reportable material property damage is $2,000,000 or more; or an injury or occupational illness results in a fatality or permanent total disability.

Front 10

CLASS B

Back 10

Class B. The resulting total cost of reportable material or property damage is $500,000 or more, but less than $2,000,000; or an injury or occupational illness results in permanent partial disability; or three or more personnel are inpatient hospitalized.

Front 11

CLASS C

Back 11

Class C. The resulting total cost of reportable material or property damage is $50,000 or more, but less than $500,000; a non-fatal injury that causes any loss of time beyond the day or shift on which it occurred; or a non-fatal illness or disease that causes loss of time from work or disability at any time (lost time case). For reporting purposes, reportable lost workday Class C mishaps are those which result in 5 or more lost workdays beyond the date of injury or onset of illness (exceptions apply).

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

Back 12

The PPE program was established as a last line of defense in the event of equipment breakdown, failure, misuse to include hazardous environments and working conditions that would immediately expose the worker to a hazard. This method is a last resort after trying to eliminate hazards through the preferred method of engineering controls.
Examples of types of PPE utilized in Naval Aviation are;
- Cranials. Incorporate impact protection, hearing protection and eye protection. Proper fit and wear are essential to the efficiency of this piece of PPE.
- Eye Protection. Impact resistant goggles or chemical goggles.
- Hearing Protection. Soft disposable, earmuffs.
- Impact Protection. Hard Plastic shells, with foam liner.
- Gloves. Protect the worker from a wide variety of conditions. Selection of appropriate hand protection is essential and is based on the application the individual will be involved in. Examples are: leather, rubber, welders.
- Foot Protection. Naval Aviation operates in a highly industrial environment and the need for foot protection is essential due to the wide variety of tasks that individuals could be tasked with on a daily basis. The minimum protective footwear requirements for
