Exw - Core 101: Safety Fundamentals

Front 1

What is ORM?

Front 2

Operation Risk Management ________.
(a) ignores risks.
(b) minimizes risks to acceptable levels.
(c) removes risks altogether.

Back 2

(b) minimizes risks to acceptable levels.

Front 3

What are the four principles of ORM?

Back 3

1) Accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost.
2) Accept no unecessary risk.
3) Anticipate and manage risk by planning.
4) Make risk decisions at the right level.

Front 4

What is meant by the principle "Accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost?"

Back 4

Risk is inherant in war, and in some cases it is necessary to sieze initiative and take decisive action. Normally, greater potential gain requires more risk.

Front 5

What is meant by the principle "Accept no unecessary risk?"

Back 5

Only take risks that are necessary to accomplish the mission.

Front 6

What is meant by the principle "Anticipate and manage risk by planning?"

Back 6

Risks are more easily controlled when they are identified early in the planning process.

Front 7

What is meant by the principle "Make risk decisions at the right level?"

Back 7

When the leader responsible for executing the mission determines that the risk associated with that mission cannot be controlled at his or her level, or goes beyond the commander's stated intent, he or she shall elevate the decision to their chain of command.

Front 8

What acronym delineates the steps of ORM?

Back 8

I AM IS.

Front 9

What does "I AM IS" stand for?

Back 9

Identify Hazards
Assess Hazards
Make Risk Decisions
Implement Controls
Supervise

Front 10

Expand upon "Identify Hazards."

Back 10

Begin with an outline of the major steps in the operation, and conduct a Preliminary Hazard Ananlysis listing hazards associated with each step and their possible causes.

Front 11

Expand upon "Assess Hazards."

Back 11

For identified hazards, determine associated degree of risk in terms of probability and severity.

Front 12

Expand upon "Make Risk Decisions."

Back 12

Beginning with the most serious risk, select controls that will reduce the risk to a minimum consistent with mission accomplishment. Decide if benefit outweighs risk. If risk outweighs benefit or if assistance is required to implement controls, communicate with higher authority.

Front 13

Expand upon "Implement Controls."

Back 13

Reduce risk by implementing all possible controls, of three different types, possible.

Front 14

What are the three different types of controls?

Back 14

1) Engineering Controls
2) Administrative Controls
3) Personal Protective Equipment

Front 15

Explain "Engineering Controls."

Back 15

Engineered methods to erduce risk by design, material selection or substitution when technically or economically possible.

Front 16

Explain "Administrative Controls."

Back 16

Reduce risk through specific administrative actioins, to include:
(a) Providing suitable warnings, placards, signs and notices.
(b) Establishing written policies, programs instructions, or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
(c) Training personnel to recognize hazards and take necessary precautionary measures.
(d) Limiting exposure to a hazard (i.e. number of personnel/equipment exposed and length of exposure).

Front 17

Explain "Personal Protective Equipment" in terms of an implemented control in the ORM System.

Back 17

Serves as barrier between personnel and hazard, to be used when other controls do not reduce risk level to an acceptable level.

Front 18

Expand upon "Supervise."

Back 18

Conduct follow-up examinations of implemented controls to ensure they stay in place and produce desired result. Take corrective action when necessary.

Front 19

Safety Councils and Safety Committees have what three basic functions?

Back 19

(1) Create and maintain an archive interest in safety.
(2) Serve as a means of communications regarding safety.
(3) Provide program assistance to commanding officers, including proposing policy and program objectives.

Front 20

What are the purposes of a Mishap Investigations?

Back 20

(1) Identifying causes.
(2) Preventing future occurence.
(3) Record keeping.

Front 21

Why are accurate records necessary in relation to mishap reporting?

Back 21

Accurate records establish trends, aid in constructing analyses, and aid in measuring the effectiveness of the program. May be necessary to comply with Department of Labor or host country standards.

Front 22

Which of the following is a purpose of a Mishap Investigation?
(a) Determination of culpability.
(b) Mishap prevention.
(c) Determination of cause.
(d) B and C only.
(e) All of the above.

Back 22

(d) Mishap prevention and determination of cause.

Front 23

In regards to Mishap Reporting, the Safety Investigator and JAGMAN Investigator should be _________.
(a) the same individual
(b) different individuals
(c) the same or different individuals. It doesn't matter

Back 23

(b) different individuals

Front 24

Reports of Safety Investigations _________ made a part of JAGMAN Investigations.
(a) shall not be
(b) shall be

Back 24

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) shall investigate any death occurring on a Navy installation, except ___________.
(a) when believed by CO to be non-criminal.
(b) when there are no witnesses
(c) when medically attributable to disease or natural cause
(d) A and C onle

Back 25

(c) when medically attributable to disease or natural cause

Front 26

Shore regions and activities shall conduct an investigation of ___________.
(a) major mishaps
(b) every mishap
(c) mishaps that involve safety equipment only
(d) mishaps they believe to be easily repeatable
