Risk Management Flashcards
The Four principles of Risk Management (RM)
- Integrate RM into all phases of missions and operations
- Make risk decisions at the appropriate level
- Accept no unnecessary risk
- Apply RM cyclically and continuously
The five steps of RM
- Identify the Hazards
- Assess the Hazards
- Develop Controls and Make risk decisions
- Implement Controls
- Supervise and Evaluate
Probability
assessed as frequent, likely, occasional, seldom, or unlikely.
Severity
it is assessed as catastrophic, critical, moderate, or negligible.

Risk Management
The process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risks arising from operational factors and making decisions that balance risk cost with mission benefits.
Risk Tolerance
the level of risk the responsible commander is willing to accept.
Control
an action taken to eliminate a hazard or to reduce its risk.
Risk Decision
a commander, leader, or individual’s determination to accept or not accept the risk(s) associated with an action he or she will take or will direct others to take.
What is a Hazard?
A hazard is a condition with the potential to cause injury, illness, or death of personnel; damage to or loss of equipment or property; or mission degradation
Risk
determined after hazards are identified and analyzed and is presented as a combined expression of loss probability and severity
Identify Hazard: Tools
Mission Variables (METT-TC) Mission Enemy Terrain (use OAKOC) Troops Time Civilian Considerations
Accident-Loss Scenario
Source – mechanism - outcome
