ORM
Operational Risk Managment
ORM Instruction
OPNAVIST 3500.39C
Concept of ORM
To minimize risks to acceptable levels, proportionate to mission accomplishment
What is ORM
A decision making tool used to make informed decisions in order to reduce risks and mishaps
Goal of ORM
To manage risks so that the mission can be completed with the minimum amount of loss
Benefit of ORM
applying ORM can reduce mishaps, lower injury & property damage and provide for more effective use of resources and improve mission readiness
How does ORM work
ORM is a closed loop process of identifying and controlling hazards. It is applied on 1 of 3 levels; guided by 4 principals.
5 step process of ORM
- Identify Hazards (what are they?)
- Assess the Hazards (probability & severity)
- Make Risk Decisions (select controls to reduce risk)
- Implement Controls (eng/admin/ppe)
- Supervise (are the controls working?)
4 principals of ORM
I. Accept Risks when the benefits out weigh the costs
II. Accept no unnecessary risks
III. Anticipate/Manage risks with planning
IV. Make risk decisions at the right levels
Mishaps
an unplanned or unexplained event causing illness, injury, death, or property damage
Mishap investigations
Conducted to determine the primary cause and plan corrective action to prevent re-occurrence
Who conducts mishap investigations?
The safety office preforms a formal investigation when 1 or more days of work is lost
Why are mishaps reported?
Accurate records establish trends and aid in measuring program effectiveness
Near Mishap
When injury or damage are narrowly avoided by chance or circumstance.
Hazardous Condition
a condition that if continued or ignored may cause a mishap
Hazard Severity
Worst possible outcome - 4 categories
Hazard Cat 1
Catastrophic - greater then $500k in damage or death
Hazard Cat 2
Critical - disfiguring injury, loss of 3 months work, or $50k-$500k in damage
Hazard Cat 3
Marginal - more than 1 day loss work, $10k-$50k worth of damage
Hazard Cat 4
Minimal - personnel is safe, no lost time, less than $10k in damage
Safety Ashore Instruction
OPNAVIST 5100.23G
Safety Afloat Instruction
OPNAVIST 5100.19E
mishap reporting instruction
OPNAVIST 5102D
risk assessment codes (RAC)
determined by matching hazard severity and mishap probability
The 5 RAC’s
- Critical
- Serious
- Moderate
- Minor
- Negligible
Mishap Probability Levels
A. likely to occur
B. probably will occur
C. may occur in time
D. unlikely to occur
PPE (personal protective equipment)
Used as a last line of defense against hazards and is the least effective method of protection from workplace hazards
Types of PPE
Head (hardhat) Eye/Face (googles/mask) Ears (plugs/muffs) Respiratory (respirator) Hand/Foot (gloves/steel-toe boots) Safety Clothing (vests/belts/aprons) Electrical Protective Devices (LO/TO) Personal Fall Protection (harnesses)
