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
