1. Marine Detachment Fort Sill Presidents Day OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT & 2008 MISHAP GOALS
Operational Risk Management doesn’t just reduce mishaps,it improves our ability to accomplish the mission efficiently and effectively. Note the term “operational” on this slide...it doesn’t say “safety”.
The goal of this presentation is to give you a thorough understanding of the ORM process, selected tools, practical applications and implementation ideas so that you can lead the way for implementation in the Marine Corps.
The training which follows is designed to give the Marine an understanding of this quarters Safety Theme as well as a basic review of the ORM process. 1

2. Overview Conduct Pre-holiday ORM Training Introduce 2008 SAFETY GOALS
The following will be presented during this period of instruction:

3. How many of you are familiar with risk management?
What is it?

4. Step one is: Identify Hazards - Identify hazards to the force
Step one is: Identify Hazards - Identify hazards to the force. Consider all aspects of current and future situations, environment, and known historical problem areas.
Define a hazard.

6. Identify those hazards most likely to result in loss of combat power.
IDENTIFY HAZARDS
OBJECTIVE
Identify those hazards most likely
to result in loss of combat power.

7. Hazard ID Tool
Adequate
YES NO
Example
- Support - Is type/amount/capability/condition of support
adequate to carry out the mission?
- Personnel Equipment/material
- Supplies Services/facilities
- Standards - Is guidance/procedure adequately clear/
practical/specific to the mission?
- Training - Is training adequately thorough and recent?
- Leader - Are leaders ready, willing and able to enforce
standards.
- Individual/Unit - Is the Marine/unit prepared and rested sufficiently to perform the mission?
Protect the Force Through Risk Management

8. STEP 2: Assess Hazards
Assess Hazards Assess hazards to determine risks. Assess the impact of each hazard in terms of potential loss and cost, based on probability and severity.

SEVERITY
Permanent partial disability, temporary total disability in excess of 3 months, major system damage, significant property damage.
Critical
Minor injury, lost workday accident, compensable injury or illness, minor system damage, minor property damage.
Marginal
First aid or minor supportive medical treatment, minor system impairment.
Negligible

12. ASSESSMENT TOOL

13. STEP 3: Develop Controls
& Make Decision
Develop Controls & Make Risk Decisions
Develop control measures that eliminate the hazard or reduce its risk to an acceptable level. As control measures are developed, risks are reevaluated until all risks are reduced to a level where benefits outweigh potential cost
Risk Management Process

14. DEVELOP CONTROLS Consider: Question: Are controls established?
Is the control practical and in line with Marine Corps orders?
Does the control create a new hazardous condition?
Is the control within authority level?
Has the control affected probability or severity or both?
Question:

15. Are the controls adequate?
TOOL
Example
Are the controls adequate?
Adequate
YES NO
- Support - Is type/amount/capability/condition of support
adequate to carry out the mission?
- Personnel Equipment/material
- Supplies Services/facilities
- Standards - Is guidance/procedure adequately clear/
practical/specific to the mission?
- Training - Is training adequately thorough and recent?
- Leader - Are leaders ready, willing and able to enforce
standards.
- Individual/Unit - Is the Marine/unit prepared and rested sufficiently to perform the mission?
Protect the Force Through Risk Management

16. Make Risk Decision Make risk decisions at the appropriate level.
Commanders make decisions by:
-Making on-the-spot decision
-Establishing decision guidance subordinate leaders are to use
-In the absence of specific guidance, provide a philosophy so subordinates can act
Accept risks only if the benefits outweigh the costs or losses.
As Marines our focus is to ensure that the decision authority is known, procedures for determining that authority and mission risk level is established and that controls and control data bases are available and are incorporated into procedures for the program or process we are involved in.

17. IMPLEMENTATION METHODS
Regulations, policy letters, and SOPs
Orders
Briefings and back-briefs
Training
Rehearsals

18. STEP 5: Supervise & Evaluate
Perform to, and enforce standards and controls. Evaluate the effectiveness of controls and adjust/ update as necessary.
Risk Management Process

19. Supervise All Marines are responsible for: (self-discipline)
Performing to standard
Executing controls
Recognizing and reporting unsafe acts
or conditions
Leaders are responsible for enforcement
Supervision and responsibility go hand in hand. All Marines are responsible for supervising themselves (self-discipline). What that means is that every Marine is responsible for performing to standard and executing controls. Also, every Marine is responsible for recognizing unsafe acts or conditions and, depending on the situation and time requirements, making on-the-spot corrections and/or bringing it to the attention of the chain of command.
Leaders and supervisors are also responsible for ensuring standards and controls are adhered to and enforced. Some ways to accomplish this are spot checks, inspections, situation reports, buddy checks and continuous or direct supervision.

20. Evaluate -Effectiveness of Controls (adjust/update)
-Accuracy of assessment
-Newly identified hazards
-Need for additional controls
Lessons learned
-Ensure lessons learned are fed back into
the system for future operations This step is essentially initial planning for the next iteration of the mission.
All personnel involved in the implementation of controls should be part of the evaluation process. Individuals responsible for the implementation of controls should evaluate their effectiveness using feedback from Mariners and adjust or update controls as necessary. Once the mission has been completed, ensure that an After Action Review (AAR) is conducted with your subordinates and superiors.

21. Now…how many of you are familiar with risk management?

22. “THINK SAFE, BE SAFE, LIVE SAFE!"
FY08
SAFETY GOAL
“THINK SAFE, BE SAFE, LIVE SAFE!"
TRANSISTION INTO THE 2ND QUARTER SAFETY THEME…"Safety is Continuous"

23. THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
SUBJECT: Zero Preventable Accidents 30 May 2007
I am committed to reducing preventable accidents as one of the cornerstones of the Department of Defense’s Safety Program. Consistent with the President’s Safety, Health, and Return-To-Employment (SHARE) initiative, I have set some very specific mishap reduction goals for the Department. We are focused on closely monitoring our most pressing mishap area: civilian and military injuries, aviation accidents, and the number one combat killer of our military, private motor vehicle accidents.
We can no longer tolerate the injuries, costs and capability losses from preventable accidents. Accidents cost the Department about $3 billion per year, with indirect costs up to four times that amount. We have made progress in reducing aviation accidents and civilian lost work days, but have much more to do to address military injuries and private motor vehicle fatalities. Our goal is zero preventable accidents, and I remain fully committed to achieving the 75% accident reduction target in 2008.
The current focus of our Safety Council is on increasing the accountability of individuals and leaders, as well as pursuing safety technologies. Accountability and leadership are key to an effective safety program. I urge you to continue to emphasize safety in the workplace and hold leaders accountable for their safety programs. Your efforts will make the Department a safer place to work, and more capable of defending the Nation and her interests. We have no greater responsibility than to take care of those who volunteer to serve.

26. Summary
Risk management is not an additional task, it is a process that will be incorporated into everything we do--on and off Duty. Doing so, provides reasonable alternatives for successful task accomplishment and empowers users to make informed decisions.
Marine Corps leadership from the highest levels is committed to integrating risk management into all we do so it becomes a routine part of planning and executing every task and mission. The overall goal is to integrate risk management into all activities and into every individual's behavior, both on and off duty. Risk management is not a science; it doesn't provide leaders with a precise course of action. Neither is it just "common sense" or "something good leaders have always done." It is an important tool that can be fully integrated into established Marine Corps systems for all operations.
