What are units encouraged to use to conduct "what can go wrong" analyses on an as-needed- basis?
"Risk Assessment Matrix(RAM)"
What is defined as "a process to identify, assess, control, mitigate and manage hazards associated with an operation or activity"?

What is defined as, "the possibility of loss or injury due to exposure to a hazard," in COMDTINST 3500.3A?
"Risk"
What outlines potential strategies to mitigate and/or control risk?
"STAAR"
mission refers to what control option to eliminate or reduce risk? The movement of forces, equipment, or tasks to other areas in order to avoid risk to the entire
"Spread out" from STAAR
What provides a framework to identify and assess hazards, evaluate the risk level, and weigh the risk against the potential benefits?
"The RM process"
Where are the steps of RM described?
"The five steps of RM are described in "Risk Management Fundamentals" cglink.uscg.mil/RM_fundamentals
individual, unit or platform that is better positioned, more Reducing risks by transferring all or some portion of that mission or task, to another survivable, or more expendable is a control option using
"Transfer" from STAAR
When is RM most effective?
"When hazards are identified early"
How many actions are there in the Assess Hazards step in the RM process?
3
How many actions are there in the last step of the RM process?
3- Monitor, Evaluate, Feedback
In the RM process, what action follows an evaluation?
Action 3- Feedback
In the first step of the Risk Management Process Cycle, "Why" analysis is used in which action?
Action 3- List Causes
Which of the following is an action in step 4 or the RM process?
Action 4- Select Risk Controls
In step 5 of the RM process, ensuring that changes requiring further RM are identified is part of which action?
Action1- Monitor
Additional elements can be added to GAR 2.0 to
Address unique operational realities
What is a function of physiological and psychological factors that support the ability of crewmembers to perform safely and effectively?
Crew endurance
What does the RM process rely on to identify, assess, control, mitigate, and manage potential hazards?
Effective teamwork and communication
Within the RM process, which is a type of control can be applied to hazards to mitigate the risk?
Engineering controls. Physical controls. Administrative controls. Educational controls. Operational controls.
Which of the following is a Risk Assessment pitfall?
Enumeration: It is difficult to assign a numerical value to human behavior.
What shall all units use to conduct a real-time assessment prior to engaging in operations or activities that expose personnel to hazards?
GAR 2.0
What should units use at the start of each day or watch?
GAR 2.0 assessment
Which of the following is the foundation of the risk management process?
Hazard Identification
Which of the following is a Risk Assessment pitfall?
Inaccuracy: Bad or misunderstood data nullify accurate risk assessment.
Which of the following is a Risk Assessment pitfall?
Indiscrimination: All data is given equal weight.
Which of the following is a Risk Assessment pitfall?
Misrepresentation: Individual perspectives may distort data. This can be deliberate or unconscious.
Which of the following is a Risk Assessment pitfall?
Over optimism: "It can't happen to us. We're already doing it." This pitfall results from not being totally honest and not looking for root causes of the hazards.
At a minimum, units must include all elements of which model in their GAR 2.0?
PEACE
Which is a model to identify hazards?
PEACE and STAAR
Which models can also be applied to activities outside the workplace that are often spontaneous and dynamic?
PEACE and STAAR
Which models, when used in tandem, generate the necessary information to establish a shared mental model up and down the chain of command, assist in decision making, and encourage robust risk management?
PEACE and STAAR
In step 1 of the RM process, if time is limited and a thorough task analysis cannot be performed what model can be used?
PEACE model (Planning, Event complexity, Asset selection, Communications, and Environmental conditions)
Which of the following is a Risk Assessment pitfall?
Prejudice: Subjectivity and/or hidden agendas are used instead of facts.
How is risk defined within Risk Management?
Risk is defined as the possibility of loss or injury due to exposure to a hazard
What mnemonic provides a simple and convenient aide to identify some approaches to eliminate or reduce risk?
STAAR micmon mnemonic (Spread out, Transfer, Avoid, Accept, and Reduce)
Develop Controls is the first action in which step of the RM process?
Step 3
Develop controls is an action for which step in the RM process?
Step 3
In which step of the Risk Management Process Cycle does a member, establish accoutmplement
Step 4 - Implement Controls
Documentation is critical to the success of which step in the overall RM process?
Step 5
What is the first choice in the standard of order of precedence for RM controls?
The standard order of precedence for controls is to first use design and engineering solutions to achieve minimum risk. Less desirable control options are to add safety devices, warming devices, or change procedures and training
Which is an action taken during the first step in the RM process?
There are 3 different actions: 1. Mission/task analysis 2. What can go wrong analysis 3. List Causes(*Why" Analysis)
What is a critical human factor that will increase the potential for error-induced mishaps in not managed?
There are 7- "mission analysis, leadership, adaptability and flexibility, situational awareness, decision making, communication, and assertiveness"
Which of the following is a Risk Assessment pitfall?
c. Alarmism: "The sky is falling" approach, or "worst case" estimates are used regardless of their possibility.
