ORM Fundamentals Flashcards
What level of ORM is most often used in the workplace?
Strategic
Why does the Preliminary Hazard Analysis require that you identify potential hazards in every event of the opration/task?
To overcome the tendency to focus only on immediately obvious risks
What are the four different aspects of hazard exposure?
Time, proximity, volume, and repetition
Why do you have to create an account before using TRACS?
To gather appropriate information on TRACS users. This information will not be shared with unauthorized sources
The probability of a single hazard occurring is…
proportional to the cumulative probability of all the causes listed for that hazard
Step Six of the ORM process calls for feedback. Which is not a function of feedback?
To serve as a record of expenditure of organizational resources
how does the last step of the ORM process add value to the ORM process?
costs versus benefits are reviewed focusing on improvements in mission performance
What is a hazard?
Any real or porential condition that can cause mission degradation; injury, illness, or death to personnel; or damage to or loss of equipment or property
Within risk control development, how might an action plan promote the involvement of personnel directly involved in the operation/task?
By re-assessing the controls when changes occur
In making control decisions the decision maker must have authority to do what?
Determine whether the benefits of the mission outweight the reduced level of risk
The six steps of ORM are:
1) identify hazards
2) Assess Risks
3) Analyze risk control measures
4) make control decisions
5) Implement risk controls
6) supervise and review
What is NOT one of the goals the USAF expects through its policy on ORM?
To eliminate all major hazards and only perform missions with little or no risk
What are two of the three actions for analyzing risk control measures?
Determine control effects and prioritize risk controls
What does the acronym TRACS stand for and what is its purpose?
The total risk assessment and contrl system used for ORM assessments
The six step ORM process works best when you…
remember that each step is a building block for the next step
How many principles of ORM are there?
4
why would considering the 5Ms aid in identifying hazards within a mission?
You consider how Mission Mishaps Might Motivate Management to review overall operation risk
What is the first action in Step 1, Hazard Identification?
perform an operations analysis to determine what is at risk
what is the goal when making risk control decisions?
the best level of risk for the total mission
what type of risk is acceptable in the ORM process?
A necessary risk with benefits that outweight the costs
What is the difference between a hazard and a risk?
a hazard is a condition that can impair mission accomplishment and a risk is a hazard that has been quaitified by how much it affects the mission
who can use RMIS?
anyone with access to the “.mil” network
which is one of the four principles of ORM?
make risk decisions at the appropriate level
within control measure analysis, how might a control be mission-compatible?
if impact of coordinating the control with another will be stronger than each of their impacts individually
what does RMIS stand for?
Risk Management Information System
