102 SAFETY FUNDAMENTALS Flashcards
What does the term RM stand for?
Risk Management
What is the purpose of the RM process?
To increase the ability to make informed decisions and minimize risks to acceptable levels
How does RM enhance readiness by improving mission success?
By increasing the probability of success in task or mission accomplishment
What does RM help preserve?
Personnel and materiel by avoiding unnecessary risk and reducing mishaps
What adaptive feature does RM offer during operations?
Continuous feedback through planning, preparation, and execution phases
What does RM identify when specific standards are absent?
Feasible and effective control measures
Does RM inhibit flexibility or initiative?
No, it does not inhibit flexibility, initiative, or accountability
What is the first principle of RM regarding risk acceptance?
Accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost
What does the Fleet Marine Force Manual say about risk and gain?

To manage risk so the mission can be accomplished with minimal loss
How should risks be controlled according to the third principle?
By anticipating and managing them through planning
What should a leader do if risk exceeds their control level?
Elevate the decision to their chain of command
What characterizes the In-depth level of RM?
Thorough risk assessment when time is not a limiting factor
What tools are used in In-depth RM?
Research, diagrams, analysis tools, trends, formal testing, and long-term hazard tracking
When is the Deliberate level of RM applied?
When there is ample time to apply the RM process to mission planning
What is an example of Deliberate RM integration?
USMC Rapid Response Planning Process (R2P2)
What defines the Time Critical level of RM?
On-the-spot mental or verbal review during execution with little time to plan
What tool facilitates RM at the Time Critical level?
Time Critical Risk Management (TCRM) ABCD Model
What is the first step in the RM five-step process?
Identifying hazards
How is a Preliminary Hazard Analysis conducted?
By listing hazards and their causes for each step in an operational analysis
What is assessed for each hazard in the second RM step?
Degree of risk in terms of probability and severity
What is the first action in making risk decisions?
Developing risk control options starting with the most serious risk
What decision follows selecting risk controls?
Determining if the benefit outweighs the risk
What does the supervising step in RM involve?
Follow-up evaluations to ensure controls remain effective and monitoring for changes
