Chapter 7 Reading Risk Flashcards
Define Recognition-primed decision making (RPD)
A mental model that suggests that many quick decisions are made using mental templates from previous experiences that fit the images that you are currently witnessing
Define Situational awareness (SA)
The degree of accuracy to which one’s perception of his or her current environment mirrors reality
Define Valued property
Physical property whose loss will cause harm to the community
Define Vicarious learning
The process of observing others to develop knowledge, skill, or experience base.
What is the most important step in determining a risk profile?
Is it people or property
Instead of being ______ aggressive we should be _______ aggressive
arbitrarily, intellectually
Which NFPA standards specifically address risk management principles
1500, 1561, 1521
What are the four brief statements to remember risk management principles
Risk a life to save a known life
perform in a predictable, practived manner to save an unknown life or valued pro
Take no risk to save whats lost
Default to a defensive strategy when risks are excessive or conditions deteriorate
What is pure risk?
conditions present make it easy to classify the nfpa risk principle that is applicable
What is speculative risks?
Risks that can lead to differing opinions as to which principle is appropriate
What is the most important onscene decision an ISO has to make?
Risk taking acceptable or unacceptable within defined criteria
What is an ISO value decision?
Whether the positive outcome of a specific task, strategy, or action is worth the risk of injury aka deciding risk/benefit
What are the local risk-taking values?
Community expectations, department values and skills
What has adverse effect of situational awareness
Insufficient communication fatigue and stress task overload task underload group mind set and biases press on philosophy rapidly degrading operating conditions
What are the three levels of Situational awareness
capturing current cues and clues
comprehending the situation
predicting the future
Levels of situational awareness are influenced by what?
your mental state, training, experience, and personal values
What are the 3 steps in the ISO read-risk model?
Collect info- SA cues and clues
Analyze
Judge Risk
What do you do under the collect information step in ISO read-risk model
Read building, smoke, and read firefighters if the have SA and doing predictable things
What do you do under the Analyze step of ISO read-risk model
Define principle hazards
determine whether there are survivable spaces
compare rate of change with the fire ground clock (ahead or behind the change curve)
determine what is being gained by fire service actions
What do you do under the judge risk step of ISO read-risk model?
Risk acceptable or unacceptable
What is rescue profiling?
Using all information inputs to rate survivability
How can survivability be rated?
High-Go
Marginal-Go with Caution
Zero-No Go
What is the US Coast Guard SPE model
Severity, 1-5 (1 min harm - 5 potential death)
probability, 1-5 (1 not likely - 5 high certainty)
exposure 1-4 ( 1 within protective controls - 4 exceeds protection)
How are each input in us coast guard spe model totaled?
3 numbers multiplied together
What are the benchmarks for SPE model?
50-80 reassess risk taking over 80 abandon mission
What are the benchmarks for SPE model in fire service?
Known trapped
1-50 acceptable risk
51-80 marginal risk monitor risk
81-100 prepare for rapid withdrawl
unkown or no victims
1-20 acceptable
21-50 marginal
51-100 unacceptable risk defensive only
