101 Safety Fundementals Flashcards
ORM (definition)
Is a decision making tool used by people at all levels to increase our ability to make informed decisions and minimize risks to acceptable levels.

Five steps of ORM
IAMIS (identifying hazards, Assessing Hazards, Making risk decisions, implementing controls, supervising)
Explain Identifying hazards
Begin with an outline or chart of major steps in the operation. Create a listing of all possible hazards associated with each step.

Identifying Hazards
Assessing Hazards (definition)
Determine the associated degree of risk in terms of probablity and severity. Matrix can be helpful.

Assessing Hazards
Making risk decisions
Develope risk control options. Go by most serious first then least serious. If risk outweighs benifts contact higher chain of command.

Making risk decisions
Implementing Controls
Measures used to eliminate hazards or reduce degree of risk

Implementing Controls
Supervising
Conduct follow up assessments, ensure they remain in place. Monitor for changes which may require further ORM.

Supervising
AAAM ( FOUR PRINCIPLES OF ORM)
accept risk when benifts outweighs the cost, accept no unescasrry risk, anticipate the mange risk by planning, make risk decisions at the right level
Accept risks when benifts outweighs the cost
Risk is inherent in war and is involved in every mission. Risk is also related to gain; normally greater potential gain requires greater risk.
The goal of ORM
Is not to eliminate risk, but to manage risk so mission is accomplished with minimum loss
Accept no unnecessary risk
We should clearly understand that the acceptance of risk does not equate to the impurdent willingness to gamble. Take only risks, which are necessary to accomplish the mission.
Anticipate and manage risk by plannning
Risks are more easily controlled when they are identified early in the planning process
Make risk decisions at the right level
Risk decisions are made by the leader directly responsible for the operation. Critical elements, prudence, experience, judgment and sisutaional awareness.
Head protection
Safety helmets for head Hazards.
Hearing protection
84dBA (8hours) or 140dBA sound peak pressure. Noise greater than 104dBA( 8hours)
Foot protection
Worn for foot hazards
Eye protection
Worn for eye hazard areas
Hazardous materials
Any material that may pose a substantial hazard to human health or environment if incorrectly used.
Hazardous waste
Any material that meets the HM definition or deginated by high authority
