Principles of Operational Risk Management
Manage risk in the planning stage
Do not accept unnecessary risk Make risk decisions at the
appropriate level Accept risk when benefits
outweigh costs and/or potential consequences
Operational Risk Management Process
Determine level of Risk and establish Mitigations

Risk Assessment Worksheet Instructions
The Risk Assessment (RA) Worksheet will identify location(s) of the work project or activity, the name of employee(s) creating the RA, and date created. The approving Agency Administrator (AA), or Superintendent will review the RA and mitigation strategies to ensure risk is at an acceptable level for task or activity. A signed document will be required for apporval of the RA. The supervisor or project leader of the project/task will share information with affected employees through a safety meeting. Employees participating in the project/task will be required to sign RA acknowleding participation in safety meeting and that they have received the necessary training, and understand procedures, protocol and mitigation strategies to reduce risk with the project. Blocks 1, 2, 3, and 4 – Self explanitory Block 5 – Pre-Mitigation: What hazards are involved with the project or activity Block 6 – Mitigation or Abatement Strategy: What mitigation or abatement strategy will minimize risk or exposure (ex. engineering, administrative, PPE, Avoidance, education, etc.) Block 7 – Post-Mitigation: What hazards and risk associated with hazards are still present following mitigation or abatement strategy Block 8 – Hazards: What hazards exist with project (ex. hazard trees, driving, rolling debris, heat, etc.) Block 9 – Hazard Probability: What is probability a hazard will be encountered during project or activity, refer to Probability table Block 10 – Severity Code: What are the consequences should an unplanned event occur, refer to Severity table Block 11 – Risk Level: Assign a Risk Level prior to mitigation measures assigned, listed by RAC number, followed by Frequecy and Severity, ex. 1(A)(1) Block 12 – Hazard Probabilty: Following mitigation or abatement actions the probability of exposure or risk Block 13 – Severity Code: Following mitigation or abatement actions the severity or consequences associated with task or project Block 14 – Risk Level: Assign a Risk Level following mitigation strategies, listed by RAC number, followed by Frequecy and Severity, ex. 1(A)(1) Block 15 – Acceptable Level Yes/No: Is level of risk acceptable following mitigation or abatement actions, decision should be made at appropriate management level Risk Assessment Code (RAC) Severity Code Catastrophic (I) - Imminent and immediate danger of death or permanent disability. Critical (II) - Permanent partial disability, temporary total disability. Significant (III) - Hospitalized minor injury, reversible illness. Minor (IV) - First aid or minor medical treatment.
Hazard Probability Frequent (A) - Immediate danger to health and safety of the public, staff or property and resources. Likely (B) - Probably will occur in time if not corrected, or probably will occur one or more times. Occasional (C) - Possible to occur in time if not corrected. Rarely (D) - Unlikely to occur; may assume exposure, will not occur. Definitions Probability – The likelihood that a hazard will result in a mishap or loss (Exposure in terms of time, proximity, and repetition) Severity – The worst credible consequence that can occur as a result of a hazard Hazard – Any real or potential condition that can cause injury, illness or death of personnel, or loss and damage to equipment Risk – An expression of possible loss in terms of severity and probability (associated with human interaction)
Risk Management Process
Types of Hazards
Material
Environment
Organizational
Special Considerations
Assess hazards to determine risks
Assess impact of each hazard Potential loss (Risk vs Reward) Cost Mission degradation based on
probability and severity.
Risk Management Process
Develop Controls
Reduce risk by lowering the probability of occurrence and decreasing potential severity of a hazard, or both.
Types of Controls – Engineering Administrative PPE Educational Avoidance
Most often described as “mitigations” within the wildland fire community.
Criteria for Controls
Suitability – The control must truly remove the hazard or mitigate (reduce) the risk to an acceptable level.
Feasible – The end user will have the capability to implement the control.
Acceptable – The end user will accept and implement the control.
Effectiveness – Benefit gained by implementing the control and justifying the cost in resources and time.
Residual Risk
The level of risk remaining after controls have been identified and selected.
Eliminating every risk is often not achievable
Residual risk after mitigation needs to be identified and determined if the risk is at an acceptable level.
Overall Residual Risk
Cumulative Risk Should be determined based on the
hazard having the greatest residual risk down to the hazard having the least risk.
Determining overall mission risk by averaging the risks of all hazards is not valid.
The decision to accept or not accept the Risk(s) associated with an action.
Based on residual risk Benefits outweigh the
cost/potential consequence Made at the appropriate level
Risk Decision
Decision Options Accept Risk Modify Risk with control
measures Requires more information Reject Risk Elevate to higher levels Consider alternative action Avoidance
Risk Management Process
Evaluate hazard controls and continuously monitor the overall situation
Each operational period, leaders should evaluate how well the risk management process was executed.
