Occupational and Personal Safety Flashcards
Define: Operational Risk Management (ORM)
ORM is a systematic, decision-making process used to identify and manage hazards that endanger naval resources. ORM is a tool used to make informed decisions by providing the best baseline of knowledge and experience available. ORM is a tool for both on and off duty; it encompasses a 5 step process, 4 principles, and 3 levels. The ORM process requires constant review for new hazards or engineering controls available.
5 Step ORM Process:
- Identify hazards
- Assess hazards
- Make risk decisions
- Implement controls
- Supervise
The 4 Principles of ORM:
- Accept Risk when Benefits Outweigh the Cost.
- Accept No Unnecessary Risk.
- Anticipate and Manage Risk by Planning
- Make Risk Decisions at the Right Level.
The 3 Levels of ORM:
In-Depth
Deliberate
Time critical
Class A Mishap:
