Definition
• ORM is a logic-based, common sense approach to making calculated decisions on human, materiel, and environmental factors before, during, and after Air Force mission activities and operations, i.e., on- and off-the-job
Purpose and Goal
• Purpose: To enable commander’s, functional managers, supervisors, and individuals to maximize operational capabilities while minimizing risks
• Goal: To enhance mission effectiveness at all levels, while preserving assets and safeguarding health and welfare
Principles
1. Accept no unnecessary risk2. Make risk decisions at the appropriate level3. Accept risk when benefits outweigh the costs4. Integrate ORM into Air Force Doctrine and Planning at all levels
ORM1. Identifythe Hazards
2. Assessthe Risks
3. Analyze Risk ControlMeasures
4. MakeControlDecisions

6. Superviseand Review
Step 1: Identify the Hazards
• Any real or potential condition that can cause injury, illness, death to personnel or damage to or loss of equipment or property Purpose: Identify as many as possible Ideas on how to identify hazards
Step 2: Assess the Risks
• Probability and severity of an undesirable event that could result from the hazard
• Three Components of Risk• Methods and Tools
Step 3: Analyze Risk Control Measures
• Investigate specific strategies and tools that reduce, mitigate, or eliminate the risk
• Effective control measures reduce or eliminate one of the three components (probability, severity, or exposure) of risk
Step 4: Make Control Decisions
• The earlier in the process risk controls are implemented, the cheaper the cost
• Control decisions must be made at the appropriate level Safety advisors and consultants do not control the
necessary resources to implement the control decisions
Step 5: Implement Risk Controls
• Assets must be made available to implement to specific controls
• Inform the personnel in the system of the risk management process results and subsequent decisions
• To be effective, control measures must be implemented in an appropriate and understandable way
Step 6: Supervise and Review
• ORM process continues throughout the life cycle of the system, mission, or activity
• Once controls are in place, the process must be periodically re-evaluated to ensure their effectiveness
Step 6: Supervise and Review (Continued)
• Supervise: Monitor the operation to ensure the controls are effective and remain in place
• Review: Changes in the system should be recognized, and appropriate risk management controls must be applied
Responsibilities
• Starts with the commander• Supported by the staff• Implemented by the supervisors• Rests with all individuals
Operational Example
• RAF Lakenheath Runway needed extensive repairs Temporary operations were moving to RAF
Honnington How did the personnel safely accomplish this move with the use of
ORM?

ORM provides a logical and systematic means of identifying and controlling risk. It does, however, require individual and organizational dedication to it’s basic precepts, along with the discipline to apply them on a continuing basis.
