What DON instruction establishes the policy regarding Operational Risk Management (ORM)?
OPNAV Instruction 3500.39B
-
Who is responsible for operational risk management, and when?
All individuals are responsible for operational risk management, on and off duty.
-
When should ORM be applied?
All naval activities shall apply the ORM process in planning, operations and training to optimize operational capability and readiness.
-
The concept behind ORM is?
- a. A decision making tool used by personnel at all levels to increase operational effectivemess by identifying, assessing, and managing risks. By reducing the potential for loss, the probably of a successful mission is increased.
- b) Increases our ability to make informed decisions by providing a formal operational risk management process.
- c) Minimizes risk to acceptable levels. The amount of risk accepted at war is more than peace, but the process remains the same.
-
Identify the first step in ORM:
- Identify hazards:
- Begin with an outline or chart of the major steps in operation (operational analysis).
- Conduct a Preliminary Hazard Analysis by listing all of the hazards associated with each step in the operational analysis along with possible causes for those hazards.
-
Identify the second step in ORM:
- Step 2: Assess Hazards
- For each hazard identified, determine the associated degree of risk in terms of probability and severity.
- Although not required, the use of a matrix may be helpful in assessing harzards.
-
Identify the third step in ORM:
- Step 3: Make Risk Decisions
- First, develop risk control options.
- Start with the most serious risk first and select control that will reduce the risk to a minimum consistent with mission accomplishment.
- Decide if the benefit outweighs the risk.
- If risk outweighs benefit, consult with the chain of command.
-
Identify the fourth step in ORM: Step
- 4: Implement Controls
- Use the following measures to eleminate hazards or reduce the degree of risk (listed by preference:
- 1. Engineering Controls
- 2. Aministrative Controls
- 3. Peronal Protective Equipment
-
Identify the fifth step in ORM:
- Step 5: Supervise
- Conduct follow-up evaluations of controls to ensure they remain in place and have the desired effect.
- Monitor for changes, which may require further ORM.
-
What are the three ORM process levels?
- 1. Time Critical
- 2. Deliberate
- 3. In depth
- Deciding which of the three levels is necessary is based on the situation, proficiency level, and time and assets available.
-
What is a Category I hazard?
CAT I: The hazard may cause death, loss of facility/asset or result in grave damage to national interests.
-
What is a Category II hazard?
CAT II: The hazard may cause severe injury, illness, or property damage, damage to national or service interests or degradation to efficent use of assets
-
What is a catagory III hazard?
Cat III: The hazard may cause minor injury, illness, property damage, damage to national, service or command interests or degradation to efficient use of assets.
-
What is a catagory IV hazard?
Cat IV: The hazard presents a minimal threat to personnel safety or health property, national, service or command interests of efficient use of assets.
-
What is Mishap Propability? T
he probability that a hazard will result in a mishap or loss, based on an assessment of various factors.
-
What is mishap probability Sub-catagory A?
Sub-catagory: Likely to occur immediately or within a short period of time. Expected to occur frequently to an individual item or person or continuously to a fleet, inventory or group.
-
What is mishap probability sub-catagory B? Sub-catagory B: Probability will occur in time. Expected to occur several times to an individual item or person or frequently to a fleet, inventory or group.
-
What is mishap probability sub-catagory C?
Sub-catagory C: May occur in time. Can reasonably be expected to occur some time to an individual item or person or several times to a fleet, inventory or group.
-
What is mishap probability sub-catagory D?
Sub-catagory D: Unlikely to occur.
-
The Risk Assessment Code (RAC) uses numbers within a severity matrix to indicate risk. Define the numbers. RAC Definitions:
- 1 - Critical risk
- 2 - Serious risk
- 3 - Moderate risk
- 4 - Minor risk
- 5 - Negligible risk
