RISK MANAGEMENT W105

Other ways to identify hazards

- Experience and other experts -AARs -Regulations, TM, SOP's -Accident data -War-gaming what if scenarios

Hazard

-A condition with the potential to cause injury, illness, or death of personnel ; -Damage to or loss of equipment or property; -Mission degradation.

Techniques for Feeback

-AAR's -DD form 2977 Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet

What are the functions of supervision and evaluation in the RM process

-Ensure controls implemented and to standard -Ensure subordinates understand the HOW, WHEN, and Where controls are implemented. -make changes to controls as necessary

Purpose of supervising and evaluation

-Ensuring controls are implemented and working

Levels of Probability

-Frequent (A) -Likely (B) -Occasional (C) -Seldom (D) -Unlikely (E)

Purpose of Evaluations

-Identify Hazards that were not initially identified -Monitor effectiveness of controls/make corrections -Improve application of controls -Improve application of RM in current and future ops

Principles of Risk Management

-Integrate Risk Management into all phases of missions and operations -Make risk decisions at appropriate level -Accept no unnecessary risk -Apply risk management cyclically and continuously

METT-TC

-Mission -Enemy -Terrain and Weather -Troops and Support Available -Time available -Civil Consideration

Methods for implementing controls

-Overlays and graphics -Drills for vehicles and identification -Rehearsals and battle drills -Training -Briefings

How are METT-TC relevant to identifying hazards

-Standard Format for identifying hazards -Provides a pattern for addressing threat based or accident based risk.

Purpose of Risk Management

-help organizations and individuals to make informed decisions to reduce or offset risk. -ultimate goal is to prevent unnecessary risk

Tools for feedback

-spot checks -Inspections -SITREPs -Back Briefs -Buddy Checks -Close oversight

Levels of severity

1 - Catastrophic (I) 2 - Critical (II) 3 - Moderate (III) 4 - Negligible (IV)

Categories of Controls

1 - Educational 2 - Physical Controls 3 - Hazard Eliminations

Levels of risk in each hazard

1 - Extremely High Risk 2 - High Risk 3 - Medium Risk 4 - Low Risk

Effective Controls

1 - Feasibility 2 - Acceptability 3 - Suitability

Scope of Risk Management

All types of missions, operations, tasks, and non-operational activities On or off duty

Control

An action taken to eliminate a hazard or to reduce its risk

Cyclical and Continuous Risk Management Process

Assessment 1 - Identify Hazards 2 - Assess Hazards to determine risk Management 3 - Develop controls and make risk decisions 4 - Implement Controls 5 - Supervise and evaluate.

Risk Decision

Commander's/leader's determination to accept or not accept risks associated with an action he or she will take or will direct others to take.

Situational understanding

Critical component of RM -Ensure complacency, deviation from standards, etc... are not allowed. -Ensure soldiers monitor factors -Identify more hazards during operations

Describe the step you would take after you identify hazard and assess that hazard for initial risk

Develop controls and make risk decisions

Exposure

Frequency and length of time personnel and equipment are subjected to a hazard or hazards

Real Time Risk Management

Immediate management of hazards as they occur

Premise of Risk Management

Increases operational effectiveness Increases Probability of mission accomplishment

JRAT

Joint Risk Assessment Tool

Residual Risk Level

Level of risk remaining after re-assessing the mitigating effects of the implemented controls -Risk decisions are based on the residual risk level

Definition of Risk Management

Process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risks arising from operational factors and making decisions that balance risk cost with mission benefits.

Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet

Provides users the option to create their own: -mission types -subtasks -hazards and controls

Severity of the hazard

The expected consequences of an event in terms of injury, property damage, or other mission impairing factors. -Does not consider probability -estimate of the loss

Risk Tolerance

The level of risk the responsible commander is willing to accept

Probability

The likelihood an event will occur

Risk Level

Type of score that assesses the odds or probability of something going wrong and the effect/severity of the incident when it occurs

Deliberate Risk Management

Used when there is ample time to apply the RM process to the detailed mission. Experienced personnel and brainstorming are used to assess risks.

Unnecessary Risk

any risk that, if taken, will not contribute meaningfully to mission accomplishment or will needlessly endanger lives or resources.

What is JRAT

interactive, easy to use, automated system designed to assist users with the application of risk management IAW JP 3-0. - User focused to provide information to produce Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet.
