answer
decision making tool used by personnel at all levels to increase effectiveness by identifying, assessing, and managing risks
question
ORM DOES NOT....
answer
inhibit flexibility, initiative, or accountability, remove risk or support a "zero defect", remove necessity for practice, drills, etc, or sanction or justify violation the law and DoD or Navy Standards
question
How many basic principles of ORM are there?
answer
four
question
What are the four basic principles of ORM
answer
1. accept risk when benefits outweigh cost, 2. accept no unnecessary risk, 3. anticipate and manage risk by planning, and 4. make risk decisions at the right level
question
Accept risk when benefits outweigh cost
answer
process of weighing risks against benefits and value of the mission or task that helps maximize success
question
accept no unnecessary risk
answer
if all detectable hazards have not been identified, then unnecessary risks are being accepted
question
Anticipate and manage risk by planning
answer
integrating RM into planning at all levels and as early as possible provides the greatest opportunity to make well-informed risk decisions and implement risk controls
question
Make risk decisions at the right level
answer
the appropriate level for risk decisions is the person that can make decisions to eliminate or minimize hazard, implement controls to reduce the risk, or accept the risk
question
How many levels of ORM are there?
answer
three
question
What are the three levels of ORM?
answer
in-depth, deliberate, and time critical
question
What is the basic factor that differentiates each level of ORM?
answer
time - the amount of time available to dedicate to the preparation and planning of missions or tasks
question
In-depth level
answer
refers to situations when time is not a limiting factor and the right answer is required for a successful mission or task
question
What are some examples of application of in-depth level of ORM?
answer
long term planning of complex or contingency operations; technical standards and system hazard management applied in engineering design during acquisition and introduction of new equipment and systems; development of tactics and training curricula; and major system overhaul or repair
question
What are some tools used in in-depth level of ORM?
answer
thorough research and analysis of available data, use of diagrams and analysis tools, formal testing or long term tracking of associated hazards
question
deliberate level
answer
refers to situations when there is ample time to apply the RM process to detailed planning of a mission or task
question
What is a good example of ORM application integrated at the deliberate level?
answer
The Navy planning process (more ex: planning of unit missions, tasks or events, review of standard operating, maintenance or training procedures, recreational activities; and development of damage control and emergency response plans)
question
Time Critical level
answer
personnel operate on this level on a daily basis both on and off duty
question
At what level of ORM is there little to no time to make a plan?
answer
time critical
question
What model has the Navy adopted to facilitate the use of RM at time critical level?
answer
The ABCD Model
question
What are the 5 basic steps to the ORM process?
answer
1. Identify the hazards, 2. assess the hazards, 3. make risk decisions, 4. implement controls, and 5. supervise
question
What guidelines are set for the 5 step process?
answer
1. apply in sequence, 2. maintain balance, 3. apply as a cycle, 4. involve people fully, 5. document
question
What is a hazard?
answer
Any condition with the potential to negatively impact mission accomplishment or cause injury, death or property damage
question
Category I of Severity consequences
answer
loss of the ability to accomplish the mission; death or permanent total disability
question
Category II of Severity Consequences
answer
Significantly degraded mission capability or unit readiness; permanent partial disability or severe injury or illness
question
Category III of Severity consequences
answer
degraded mission capability or unit readiness; minor damage to equipment/minor injury or illness
question
Category IV of severity consequences
answer
little or no adverse impact on mission capability or unit readiness
question
Probability category A
answer
likely to occur, immediately or within a short period of time
question
Probability category B
answer
probably will occur in time
question
Probability category C
answer
may occur in time
question
Probability category D
answer
unlikely to occur, but not impossible
question
How do you determine the risk assessment code (RAC) or level of risk for each hazard, expressed as a single Arabic number?
answer
combine the severity with the probability
question
What are the three basic actions that ultimately lead to making informed risk decisions?
answer
1. Identify control options, 2. determine control effects, 3. make risk dections
question
What are some types of controls?
answer
Engineering, administrative, and physical
question
ABCD Model
answer
Assess the situation, Balance resources, Communicate to others, Do and debrief the event
question
The ABCD Model is designed to assist when...
answer
working in dynamic environment, monitoring a static or routine situation to capture errors, and making a decision with partial info
question
The ABCD Model is not a replacement for the 5-step ORM process or a different process of RM
answer
True
question
What is the practical application of the 5 step process in a time critical environment?
answer
the ABCD model
question
How many types of ORM evaluation are there?
answer
2
question
What are the two types of ORM evaluation?

eval of a unit, staff, or group's application of the ORM principles and processes during execution of a complex evolution
question
Program evaluation
answer
ORM integration into the command's policies and training and the compliance with ORM directives (can be used as an internal self-assessment or by activities external to evaluated command)
question
What form is used for an evolution evaluation?
answer
OPNAV 3502/1 or OPNAV 3502/2 Tailorable Evolution ORM Assessment Sheet

answer
OPNAV 3502/3 ORM Program Assessment sheet (at least annually)
question
" I AM IS"
answer
mnemonic for 5 step ORM process ( "identify" hazards, "assess" hazards, "Make" risk decisions, "implement" controls, "supervise")
