Operation Risk Management
Operational Risk Management (ORM) as an integral part of the decision-making process for all navy military and civilian
personnel, on or off duty.
Only through open
communication and establishing the proper command climate can ORM
become effective.
ORM is a method to identify hazards, assess risks and implement controls to reduce the risk associated with any operation.
Sharing documented ORM assessments can be
accomplished by using the Total Risk Assessment and Control System (TRACS). TRACS Link can be located at the Navy Safety Center Web Site: www.safetycenter.navy.mil.
Include ORM in the orientation and training of all personnel, military and civilian.
) Utilize the Navy Occupational Safety and Health Environmental Training Center (NAVOSHENVTRACEN) as the single point of contact for ORM training for all commands
Establish a schedule of OPNAV sponsored two-day application and intigration courses for ORM training in order to
qualify personnel as ORM instructors.
TRACS is a web-based software application that assists
the user in completing a deliberate or in-depth risk assessment
and is designed to assist a person tasked with performing such an assessments
One officer and one senior enlisted are qualified
as ORM instructors (additional officer and senior enlisted
qualified members are encouraged based on number of personnel and
unit size).
ORM instructor qualification is earned by completing the OPNAV sponsored two-day application and
integration course for enlisted members and officers or through
graduation from the Aviation Safety Officer or Aviation Safety
Command course at Monterey for officers.
ORM instructors will train command personnel
using NAVOSHENVTRACEN training materials, NETC GMT ORM training,
videos and lesson guides
Ensure that ORM training is documented in member’s
training record.
Submit ORM “lessons learned” to CNO (N09F) for inclusion in ORM data bases.
Hazard – Any real or potential that can cause personal injury or death, property damage or mission degradation or damage to enviorment.
Hazard Severity – An assessment of the expected
consequence, defined by degree of injury or occupational illness
that could occur from exposure to a hazard.
Mishap Probability – An assessment of the likelihood that, given exposure to a hazard, an accident will result.
Risk – Chance of adverse outcome or bad consequences; such as injury, illness, or loss. Risk level is expressed in
terms of hasard probability or severity.
Risk Assessment – A structured process to identify and assess hazards. An expression of potential harm, discribed in terms of hazard severity, accident probability, and exposure to hazards.
Residual Risk – Risk remaining after controls have been identified and selected.
ORM 5 Step process : Identify, Assess, Make Risk Decisions, Implement Controls, Supervise (IAMIS)
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 RAC is an expression of risk that combines the elements of hazard severity and mishap
probability.
