RISK MANAGEMENT
Introduction Risk Management Fundamentals Risk Management Process Risk Management Implementation
RISK MANAGEMENT DEFINED
Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risks arising from operational factors and making decisions that balance risk costs with mission benefits.
FUNDAMENTALS
Leaders and soldiers at all levels use risk management. It applies to all missions and environments across the wide range of Army operations.
PRINCIPLES
Integrating risk management into mission planning, preparation, and execution. Making risk decisions at the appropriate level in the chain of command. Accepting no unnecessary risk.
RISK MANAGEMENT ASSISTS THE COMMANDER OR LEADER IN

Conserving lives and resources and avoiding unnecessary risk. Making an informed decision to implement a COA. Identifying feasible and effective control measures where specific standards do not exist. Providing reasonable alternatives for mission accomplishment.
RISK MANAGEMENT DOES NOT

Inhibit the commanders and leader's flexibility and initiative. Remove risk altogether, or support a zero defects mindset. Require a GO/NO-GO decision. Sanction or justify violating the law. Remove the necessity for standard drills, tactics, techniques, and procedures.
RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Risk management is the process of identifying and controlling hazards to conserve combat power and resources. There are 5 steps involved in risk management.
5 STEPS OF RISK MANAGEMENT

Step 1. Identify hazards. Step 2. Assess hazards to determine risks. Step 3. Develop controls and make risk decisions. Step 4. Implement controls. Step 5. Supervise and evaluate.
5 STEPS OF RISK MANAGEMENT

There are 2 types of risks: 1. Tactical risk 2. Accident Risk
STEP 1: IDENTIFYING HAZARDS

Identify hazards to people, property, and mission. Consider all aspects of past, present, and future problem areas. Conditions change quickly, consider all METT-TC involved in the operations.
HAZARD CONSIDERATIONS
Complexity and difficulty of the mission or task. Terrain and environment. Weather and visibility. Equipment on hand and status. Time available for preparation. Time available for execution.
RISK MANAGEMENT TERMS

Hazard Risk Probability Severity Exposure Controls
Risk assessment
Residual Risk
EXPOSURE & CONTROLS

Exposure is the frequency and length of time soldiers, equipment, and missions are subjected to a hazard. Controls are the actions taken to eliminate or reduce the risks identified.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk Assessment is the identification and assessments of an individual hazard or all identified hazards combined to complete a task. Risk Assessment Matrix is often used to estimate the degree of severity and probability for each hazard.
RESIDUAL RISK
Residual Risk is the level of risk remaining after controls have been implemented. Controls are altered until the residual risk is at an acceptable level or until it cannot practically be further reduced. This is for one task.
OVERALL RESIDUAL RISK
Overall residual risk of a mission must be determined when more than one hazard is identified. The residual risk for each of these hazards may have a different level, depending on the assessed probability and severity of the hazardous incident. Overall residual mission risk should be determined based on the incident having the greatest residual risk. Determining overall mission risk by averaging the risks of all hazards is not valid. If one hazard has high risk, the overall residual risk of the mission is high, no matter how many moderate or low risk hazards are present.
RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION
Leaders and soldiers at all levels are responsible and accountable for managing risks by ensuring that hazards and associated risks are Identified during planning, preparation, and execution of operations. Controlled during preparation and execution of operations.
IMPLEMENTATION
Soldiers are responsible for executing risk controls to standards. They must continuously assess variable hazards such as fatigue, equipment serviceability, and the environment. They must take care of one another and make risk decisions consistent with the higher commanders guidance.
IMPLEMENTATION
Risk management is a two-way street. The objective of managing risk is not to remove all risk, but to eliminate unnecessary risk.
SUMMARY
Identify the hazards. Assess the hazards to determine risk. Develop controls and make risk decisions. Implement controls. Supervise and refine.
