ORM
Is a decision making tool used by people at all levels to increase operational effectiveness by anticipating hazards and reducing the potential for loss, thereby increasing the probablility of a successful mission.
ORM
Increases our ability to make informed decisions by providing the best baseline of knowledge and experience available.
ORM
Minimizes risks to acceptable levels, commensurate with the mission accomplishment. The ammount of risk we will take in war is much greaer than we should take in peace but process is the same. Applying ____ process will reduce mishaps, lower cost, and provide for more efficient use of resources.
What are the 5 steps of ORM process?
Identify hazzards
assess hazzards
make risk decisions
implement controlls
supervise
Explain "Identify Hazards"
Begin with an outline or chart of major steps in the operation (Operation analysis). Next, conduct a preliminary hazard analysis by listing all possible hazards associated with each step in operational analysis along with possible causes for those hazards.
Explain "Assess Hazards"
For each hazard identified, determine the associated degree of rish in terms of probability and severity.
Explain "Make Risk Decisions"
First, develop risk controll options. Start with the most serious risk first and select controlls that will reduce the risk to a minimum consistent with mission accomplishment. With the selected controlls in place, decide if the benefit of the operation outweighs the risk. If the risk outweighs benifit or if assistance is required to implement controlls, communicate with higher athority in the chain of command.
Explain "Implement Controlls"
Measures that can be used to eliminate hazards or reduce the degree of risk.
Explain "Supervise"
Conduct follow-up evaluations of the controls to ensure they remain in place and have the desired effect. Monitor for changes which may require further ORM. Take corrective action when necessary.
What are the 4 principles of ORM?
Accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost
Accept no unnecessar risk
Anticipate and manage risk by planning
Make risk decisions at the right level
When should Single hearing protection be worn?

or 140 dB peak.
When should Double hearing protection be worn?
Noise levels exceed 104 dBA (8 hour TWA)
Hazardous material
Any material because of it's quantity, concentration or physical or chemical characteristics may pose a substantial hazard to hum health or the environment.
Hazardous waste
A discarded material whcih meets the definition of a hazardous material and/or is designated as hazardous waste by the EPA or a State authority.
MSDS
Material Safety Data Sheet that describes the chemical/physical characteristics, hazards, risk reduction methods and emergency procedures for regulated substances
