Principles of Risk Management

• Risk Management is a Mission Enhancer NOT a
  Mission Stopper.

Risk Management Terms

• Risk - Chance of hazard or bad consequences
  exposure to chance of injury or loss. Risk
  level is expressed in terms of hazard
  probability and severity.

• Hazard - Any real or potential condition
  that can cause injury, illness, or death of
  personnel or damage to or loss of equipment,
  property, or mission degradation.

8
Risk Management Terms (cont)

• Severity - The expected consequence of an event
  in terms of
• degree of injury, property damage, or other
• mission-impairing factors (loss of combat power,
  
• adverse publicity, etc.) that could occur.

• Probability - The likelihood that an event will
  occur.

• Controls - Actions taken to eliminate hazards or
  reduce their risks.

9
Risk Management Terms (cont)

• Risk Assessment - The identification and
  assessment of hazards (first 2 steps of
  risk-management process).

• Residual Risk - The level of risk remaining after
  controls have
• been identified and selected for hazards that may
  result in loss of combat power. Controls are
  identified and selected until residual risk is at
  an acceptable level or until it cannot be
  practically reduced further.

• Risk Decision - The decision to accept or not
  accept the risk(s) associated with an action
  made by the commander, leader, or individual
  responsible for performing that action.
