Discuss the concept of ORM.

The ORM process:
a. Is a decision making tool used by personnel at all levels to increase effectiveness by identifying,
assessing, and managing risks. By reducing the potential for loss, the probability of a successful
mission is increased.
b. Increases Navy’s ability to make informed decisions by providing a standardized RM process.
c. Minimizes risks to acceptable levels, commensurate with mission accomplishment. The amount of
risk the Navy will accept in war is much greater than what the Navy should accept in peace, but the
process is the same. Correct application of the ORM process will reduce losses and associated costs
resulting in more efficient use of resources.
d. Applies to off-duty activities due to their own diverse set of hazards and risks. ORM must be
practiced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.
What are the principles of ORM?
a. Accept Risk when Benefits Outweigh the Cost.
b. Accept No Unnecessary Risk.
c. Anticipate and Manage Risk by Planning.
d. Make Risk Decisions at the Right Level.
What are the levels of ORM?
a. In-depth.
b. Deliberate.
c. Time Critical.
What are the five steps of the ORM process?
(1) Identify the hazards;
(2) Assess the hazards;
(3) Make risk decisions;
(4) Implement controls; and
(5) Supervise.
Discuss the safety aspects of the following:

Tag-out
In order to prevent injury to personnel and damage to equipment, the tagout program is mandatory for all-shipboard equipment, components, and systems. The program is designed to notify personnel that tagged out equipment or systems are not in a normal operating
condition.
Discuss the safety aspects of the following:

Electrical fires
(1) A battery fire may be preceded by an explosion. Great care is required fighting such a fire to avoid
creating another explosion.
(2) The safest and most effective method for fighting a battery compartment fire is through oxygen starvation. Secure the compartment and stop all ventilation within, including agitation air, to deprive flames of oxygen.
WARNING NEVER ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH A BATTERY FIRE BY PORING WATER ON THE BATTERY. THE HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN GENERATED BY ELECTROLYSIS COULD PRODUCE A VIOLENT EXPLOSION.
Discuss the safety aspects of the following:

First aid for electric shock
When attempting to administer first aid to an electrical shock victim, proceed as follows:
(a) Shut off the power.
(b) If the power cannot be deactivated, per step (a), remove the victim immediately, observing the
following precautions.
1. Protect yourself with dry insulating material.
2. Use a dry board, belt, dry clothing, or other available non-conductive material to free the victim (by pulling, pushing, or rolling) from the power-carrying object. DO NOT TOUCH the victim.
(c) Immediately after removal of the victim from the power-carrying object, inform controlling station of
casualty, call for emergency medical assistance team and automated external defibrillator and administer CPR.
(d) When providing initial first aid measures, take into account any possible spinal injuries or fractures Personnel Rescue
Discuss the safety aspects of the following and what is the acronym:

HERO
Hazard of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO):
Induce currents of enough magnitude to initiate electro explosive devices of weapon systems Ordnance and other devices that contain Electro–Explosive Devices (EED) must function in their operational Electromagnetic Environment (EME) without inadvertent actuation. To prevent the susceptibility of EEDs to radiated or conducted electromagnetic energy, Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO) limits are imposed. To ensure that the systems achieve these limits, HERO tests are conducted at the NERF in conjunction with NSWC Dahlgren. These tests classify the ordnance's susceptibility to electromagnetic radiation as HERO SAFE, HERO SUSCEPTIBLE, or HERO UNSAFE.
Discuss the safety aspects of the following and what is the acronym:

HERP
Hazard of Electromagnetic Radiation to Personnel (HERP):
Cause harmful effects to humans. Electromagnetic radiation from antennas fed by high–powered transmitters can potentially injure personnel in the vicinity of the radiating antennas. Transmitters on aircraft, aboard ship, and at air stations are potential sources of harmful electromagnetic radiation. Radiation Hazard (RADHAZ) surveys are conducted to determine the RADHAZ distance and appropriate safety precautions to ensure personnel are not exposed to power intensities exceeding established safe limits.
Discuss the safety aspects of the following and what is the acronym:

HERF
Hazard of Electromagnetic Radiation to Fuel (HERF):
Create sparks of sufficient magnitude to ignite flammable mixtures. There is a potential for accidentally igniting fuel vapors by RF–induced arcs during fuel handling operations close to high–powered radio and radar transmitting antennas. The facility conducts radiation surveys to determine if the hazard exists in fuel handling or fueling areas.
