Volume 1 Unit 2

Front 1

What is the ultimate objective of any organization or policy within the Air Force (including ORM)?

Back 1

Maximizing combat capability

Front 2

How does risk management contributes to mishap prevention (and therefore to combat capability)?

Back 2

By minimizing risk due to hazards consistent with other cost, schedule, and mission requirements

Front 3

What is the fundamental goal of ORM?

Back 3

To enhance mission effectiveness at all levels while preserving assets and safeguarding health and welfare.

Front 4

What is the definition of risk?

Back 4

The probability and severity of loss from exposure to a hazard.

Front 5

Beyond reducing losses, what else does ORM provide?

Back 5

A logical process to identify and exploit opportunities that provide the greatest return on our investment of time, dollars and personnel.

Front 6

What are the four principles of ORM?

Back 6

Accept no unnecessary risk; make risk decision at the appropriate level' accept risk when benefits outweigh the costs; and integrate ORM into Air Force Doctrine and planning at all levels

Front 7

What is an example of the ORM principle accept no unnecessary risk?

Back 7

Choosing the lowest threat ingress to a target instead of the most direct route that the highest threats

Front 8

Who must be included in the risk decision process?

Back 8

Those accountable for the success or failure of the mission

Front 9

To make risk decisions at the appropriate level is to _____.

Back 9

Establish clear accountability

Front 10

What process helps to maximize unit capability?

Back 10

The process of weighing risks against opportunities and benefits

Front 11

To effectively apply ORM, what must commanders must to incorporate ORM principles into the planning process?

Back 11

Time and resources

Front 12

What are the six steps of the ORM process?

Back 12

1) Identify the hazard; 2) Assess the risk; 3) Analyze risk control measures; 4) Make control decision; 5) Implement risk controls; 6) Supervise and review

Front 13

What helps identify real or potential hazards?

Back 13

Experience, common sense, and specific risk management tools

Front 14

Which step is the application of quantitative or qualitative measures to determine the level of risk associated with a specific hazard and defines the probability and severity of a mishap that could result from the hazard based upon the exposure of personnel or assets to that hazard?

Back 14

Assessment step

Front 15

What should you do in the analyze risk control measures step?

Back 15

Investigate specific strategies and tools that reduce, mitigate, or eliminate the risk

Front 16

What are the three components of risk that effective control measures reduce or eliminate?

Back 16

Probability, severity, or exposure

Front 17

Risk management is a process that continues throughout the life cycle of which three items?

Back 17

System, mission, or activity

Front 18

Once controls are in place, the process must be _____ to ensure their effectiveness.

Back 18

Periodically reevaluated

Front 19

What does the Air Force use in its portable fire extinguishers, also known as bromochlorodifluoromethane?

Back 19

Halon 1211

Front 20

Halon 1211 is useful because it is very effective in smothering a fire by doing what to the combustion process?

Back 20

Smothering a tire by chemically stopping the combustion process.

Front 21

Halon 1211 is a colorless gas with a faintly sweet smell and having a density about _____ times that of air.

Back 21

Five

Front 22

The discharge of Halon 1211 to extinguish a fire may create a hazard to personnel from what two sources?

Back 22

The natural Halon 1211 itself and from the products of decomposition

Front 23

Exposure to the natural agent (Halon 1211) is generally of less concern than exposure to what?

Back 23

Its decomposition production

Front 24

Halon 1211 agents that haven't decomposed produce minimal, if any effects at concentrations below what percent?

Back 24

Four

Front 25

In concentrations above three percent, _____ change due to the increased density of the air/agent mixture.

Back 25

Voice characteristics

Front 26

What symptoms become definite after a few minutes of exposure at concentrations above four percent?

Back 26

Dizziness, impaired coordination, and reduced mental perception

Front 27

With concentrations on the order of what percent is there a risk of unconsciousness and possible death if exposure is prolonged?

Back 27

Five to ten percent

Front 28

Does Halon 1211 pool or sink to the floor after you dispense it?

Back 28

No

Front 29

What takes place upon exposure to flame, or to a hot surface above approximately 900°F?

Back 29

Decomposition

Front 30

Events during an inflight fire will transpire in such short order that you will be forced to depend on _____ in order to deal with the situation.

Back 30

Your training and prior planning
