SAFETY FUNDAMENTALS
Discuss RM Fundamentals
Force preservation does not have a single solution.
-However, every effort should be made to prevent a situation that will degrade mission capability rather than planning to deal with the situation after it occurs.
Risk Mitigation
is central to the idea of readiness and must not be an afterthought in actions during combat, in training, and in garrison.
RM
is one of the best means available to available to eliminate senseless and needless loss of life, injury, and materiel damage
-Active participation of every Marine in the RM process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risks arising from factors experienced on a daily basis such as uncertainty, ambiguity, and change will allow for informed decisions
How many Principles of RM is there
4
-3AM;
ACCEPT risk when benefits outweigh the cost.
ACCEPT no unnecessary risk.
ANTICIPATE and MANAGE risk by planning.
MAKE risk decisions at the right level.
How many Levels of RM is there
3
-Deliberate, Time critical, in-Depth
In-depth
refers to situations when available time for planning is not alimiting factor and involves a very thorough risk assessment
Deliberate
refers to situations when there is ample time to apply the RM process to the mission planning evolution.
-This level uses primarily experienced personnel ands brainstorming to identify hazards.
Time Critical
This is the level at which personnel operate on a daily basis both on and off duty.
-The time critical level is the normal RM level used during the execution phase of training or operations as well as in planning during crisis response scenarios.
-At this level, there is little or no time to make a planresulting in an “on the spot” mental or verbal review of the situation

IDENTIFY HAZARDS
A hazard is defined as any condition with thepotential to negatively impact the task or mission. Hazards can also cause property damage, injury to personnel, or death, which highlights the importance of hazard identification
ASSESS HAZARDS
For each hazard, determine the degree of risk in terms or probability and severity
MAKE RISK DECISIONS
Developing risk control options to reduce risk to a minimum
IMPLEMENT CONTROLS
measures that can be used to eliminate hazards or reduce the degree of risk
SUPERVISE
Follow up evaluations of controls to ensure they remain in place and have desired effect
Severity
This is an assessment of the worst possible consequence that can occur because of a hazard
- is defined by potential degree of injury, illness, property damage, loss of assets, or effect on task or mission
-assigned as roman numerals
Severity categories
I -Loss of ability to to accomplish the mission. DEATH or permanent disability. Loss of mission critical system o equipment. Major facility damage. Severe Environmental damage
II- SIGNIFICANT damage to property; mission capability.
III- MINOR damage to equipment; systems, property, injury or illness.
IV- LITTLE OR NO adverse impact on mission, property or environmental damage. slight equipment or system damage.
Probability
This is an assessment of the probability that a hazard will result in a mishap or loss.
Probability categories
A-LIKELY to occur
B- PROBALY will occur in time
C- MAY occur in time
D-UNLIKELY to occur
Risk assessment codes
1- Critical
2- Serious
3- Moderate
4- Minor
5- Negligible
Risk assessment code (RAC)
the RAC is an expression of risk that combines the elements of hazard severity and mishap probability.
-it is a level of risk for each hazard expressed as an Arabic number as portrayed by the matrix
-the matrix is helpful in identifying the RAC
