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
###Â 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
###Â 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
