What is the definition of ORM? |
Decision making tool used at all levels to increase operational effectiveness by anticipating hazards and reducing the potential for loss increasing probability of a successful mission. |
|
|
What is ORM'S ability? |
Increases ability to make informed decisions providing the best baseline of knowledge and experience available. |
|
|
What does ORM do? |
Minimizes risks to acceptable levels, commensurate with mission accomplishment. Risk taken in war is greater than we take in peace but the process is the same. Will reduce mishaps, lower costs, and provide a more efficient use of resources. |
|
|
Explain "identify hazards" as the apply to ORM |
Begin with an outline or chart of the major steps (operational analysis). Next, conduct a preliminary hazard analysis by listing all the hazards associated with each step along with the causes. |
|
|
Explain "Assess Hazards" as it pertains to ORM. |
For each hazard identified, determine associated degree of risk in terms of possibility and severity. Not required but use of matrix may be helpful in assessing hazards. |
|
|
Explain "Make Risk Decisions" as it pertains to ORM |
Develop risk control options first. Start with most serious risk and select control that will reduce the risk to a minimum for mission accomplishment. With selected controls in place, decide if benefit outweighs risk. If risk outweighs benefit or assistance is required to implement controls, communicate with higher authority. |
|
|
Explain "Implement Controls" as it pertains to ORM |
Measures that eliminate hazards or reduce degree of risk. |
|
|
Explain "supervise" as it pertains to ORM |
Conduct follow up evaluations of controls to ensure they remain in place and have desired effect. Monitor for changes which may require further ORM. Take corrective action when necessary. |
|
|
Explain the 5 step process of ORM |
Identify hazards Assess Hazards Make Risk Decisions Implement controls Supervise |
|
|
What are the 4 principles of ORM |
Accept risks when benefit outweighs cost Accept no unnecessary risk Anticipate and manage risk by planning Make Risk Decisions at the right level |
|
|
Principle of ORM "accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost" |
Fleet marine force manual 1 (warfighting) states "risk is inherent in war and is involved in every mission. Risk also related to gain. Greater potential gain requires greater risk." Goal of ORM is not to eliminate risk but the manage it so the mission can be accomplished with minimum amount of loss. |
|
|
Principle of ORM "accept no unnecessary risk" |
Take only risks, which are necessary to accomplish the mission. |
|
|
Principle of ORM "anticipate and manage risk by planning" |
Risks are more easily controlled when they are identified early in the planning process. |
|
|
Principle of ORM "Make Risk Decisions at the right level" |
Risk management decisions are made by the leader directly responsible for the operation. Prudence, experience, judgement, intuition, and situational awareness are the critical elements in making effective risk management decisions. When leader determines risk associated with mission cannot be controlled at his level he shall elevate the decision to their chain of command. |

|
PPE head protection |
Safety helmets protect against impact, penetration, and electric shock. Head-hazardous areas designated where there is reasonable possibility of head injury cause by cuts bumps, falling/flying objects, and from limited electric shocks and burns. |
|
|
PPE hearing protection |
Hearing protection shall be worn after 84db (8 hour exposure) and 140db or greater. Double hearing protection shall be worn where noise levels exceed 104 db. |
