    Study Notes

    Risk Assessment

    • Determining risk is done by combining the severity of a hazard with its probability
    • Risk assessment code (RAC) is used to determine the level of risk
    • Risk Assessment Pitfalls
      • Over Optimism: Don't be dishonest or avoid looking for root causes
      • Misrepresentation: Individual perspectives can distort data
      • Alarmism: Don't use worst-case estimates without considering their possibility
      • Indiscrimination: Don't give all data equal weight
      • Prejudice: Don't use subjective agendas instead of facts
      • Inaccuracy: Bad or misunderstood data damages accurate risk assessment
      • Enumeration: Those assigned to the risk assessment need to be held accountable

    Risk Management (RM)

    • RM is the process of identifying, assessing, and managing risks
    • It is a decision-making tool with the goal of increasing effectiveness by reducing potential for loss
    • RM increases the Navy's ability to make informed decisions
    • RM minimizes risk to acceptable levels, commensurate with mission accomplishment
    • Off-Duty Activities
      • RM applies to off-duty activities due to the diverse hazards present.

    Providing Support

    • Proper control increases the chance of successful implementation
    • To provide support, the following are required:
      • Personnel and Resources: Provide the resources needed to implement control measures
      • Sustainability: Design controls with sustainability in mind from the beginning
      • Feedback Mechanism: Implement a control system with feedback to understand effectiveness

    Mishap Probability Codes

    • Subcategory A - Likely to Occur: Expected to occur frequently to an individual item or person
    • Subcategory B - Probably Will Occur: Expected to occur several times to an individual item or person
    • Subcategory C - May Occur: May occur in time

    Safety Petty Officer Responsibilities

    • Inspect division spaces and submit hazard reports per OPNAV 3120/5
    • Advise the division officer on the status of the safety program
    • Keep the division officer informed of safety training needs
    • Conduct division safety training and ensure documentation is maintained
    • Assist in mishap or hazard investigations
    • Serve on the enlisted safety committee
    • Perform or supervise required safety petty officer maintenance

    ### All Hands

    • Safety program success depends on everyone's cooperation and support
    • Report unsafe or unhealthy conditions immediately to a supervisor
    • Report any injuries or material damage immediately to their supervisor

    ### Purpose of ORM

    • ORM reduces potential for loss, increasing the probability of a successful mission
    • ORM provides a standardized Risk Management process
    • The Navy accepts different levels of risk based on the mission (war vs. peace)
    • Proper application of ORM reduces losses, leading to efficient use of resources
