Risk Management
Applies to all types of operations, tasks, and non-operational activities on or off-duty.
Scope or process
any risk that, if taken, will not contribute meaningfully to mission accomplishment or will needlessly endanger lives or resources.
What is unnecessary risk
The likelihood an event will occur
Probability
The process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risks arising from operational factors and making decisions that balance risk cost with mission benefits.
Completed on what form
Risk Management
DD Form 2977
T or F
the primary process of RM is that using this process increases operational effectiveness and the probability of mission accomplishment
F - primary premise
A condition with the potential to cause injury, illness, or death of personnel; damage to or loss of equipment or property; or mission degradation
Severity is assessed as
- Catastrophic (I)
- Critical (II)
- Moderate (III)
- Negligible (IV)
T or F
The level or risk is not an absolute measure of the relative danger of a given operation, activity or event.
True
Real-time RM and deliberate RM have the same foundations:
the principles of RM and the steps of the risk management process
The purpose of RM is to help organizations and individuals to do what?
1. Make informed decisions to reduce or offset risk
2. Ultimate goal - to prevent unnecessary loss.
This is used primarily for planning operations and identifying hazards by providing a pattern for addressing threat-based and accident-based risk for any activities on- or off-duty. what are they.
METT-TC (Mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, time available, and civil considerations)
What is the risk level of a hazard for which you have categorized its odds of occurring as "likely" and its effects as "Critical"
High
Criteria for effective controls
Feasibility
Acceptability
Suitability
Steps 3 through 5 of RM are _____ steps.
Management
Principles of RM are
- Integrate Rm into all phases of missions and operations
- Make risk decisions at the appropriate level
- Accept no unnecessary risk
- Apply RM cyclically and continuously
Other ways you might identify hazards
Experience and other experts
regulations, manuals, SOPs, policies, accident data, AARs
War-gaming/what-if scenarios
data from risk assessment matrices/readiness assessments
cause and effect diagrams
mapping techniques
Three basic categories that controls can fall into.
Educational (awareness) controls
Physical controls
Hazard elimination controls
Functions of supervision and evaluation in the RM process
1. Ensure that controls are implemented and are performed to standard.
2. Validate that selected controls support achieving the end state.
3. Make changes to controls as necessary
An example of _____ occurrence (probability) is a heat injury during a battalion physical training run, with a category 5 heat index and non-acclimated Soldiers.
Frequent
The Risk Management Process is
1. Identify Hazards
2. Assess hazards to determine risk
3. Develop controls and make risk decisions
4. Implement controls
5. Supervise and evaluate
The assessment of risk associated with the hazards of missions and activities are which step of the risk management process
Step 2 - Assess hazards for risk
Commanders are responsible for determining the risk _____ within the command and for making risk ____ for operations, missions, or tasks.
tolerance and decisions
Leadership responsibilities of the RM process
1. ensure controls are monitored and remain in place
2. Ensure that complacency, deviation from standards, and violations of policies and controls, are not allowed to threaten success.
3. Ensure soldiers monitor fatigue, equipment serviceability and availability, and the weather and environment.
Consequences of an event include death, unacceptable loss or damage, mission failure, or the loss of unit readiness are what type of severity
Catatrophic (I)
