Study Notes
Risk Management Overview
- Definition: A structured decision-making process for identifying hazards and controlling risks in Army operations.
- Importance: Vital for ensuring safety and mission success.
Five-Step Risk Management Process
- Identify hazards
- Assess hazards
- Develop controls and make risk decisions
- Implement controls
- Supervise and evaluate
Causes of Accidents
- Environmental factors
- Human error
- Material conditions
Principles of Risk Management
- Must be applied cyclically and continuously for effectiveness.
Categories of Control Measures
- Educational/Awareness
- Physical
- Hazard Elimination
Implementing Controls
- Necessitates clear communication of controls to everyone involved in the relevant activity.
Supervising and Evaluating Risks
- Conduct ongoing evaluations and make on-the-spot corrections to maintain safety.
Risk Assessment Matrix
- A tool that evaluates risk levels based on the likelihood (probability) and impact (severity) of hazardous events.
Key Terms
- Probability: The likelihood that an event will occur.
- Severity: The impact degree of an incident on task completion or organizational readiness.
- Risk: The chance of an event resulting in injury, damage, or loss.
- Risk Decision: A judgment on what is an acceptable level of risk.
Hazard Identification
- METT-TC analysis is critical during the hazard identification phase.
Situational Responses
- For potential electrical surges: Identify risk due to overloaded sockets.
- If a team-building activity raises injury concerns: Alert relevant authorities immediately.
- Inexperienced drivers encountering unsafe conditions must identify hazards and notify supervisors when help is needed.
- For unsafe behavior in domestic tasks, such as using a gas string trimmer without proper attire: Identify hazards and intervene.
- If a colleague demonstrates concerning behavior after receiving bad news: Notify a supervisor for further action.
- In cases of unsafe driving plans, escalate concerns to management if safety regulations are violated.
Major Contributing Factors to Accidents
- Human error is the leading cause of accidents, emphasizing the need for thorough training and awareness.
Risk Levels
- An assessment combining the probability and severity of identified hazards can result in a mission-level risk categorization, which can be low, moderate, or high, depending on the evaluations.
