ORM - Answer Systematic, decision-making process used to identify and manage
hazards that endanger naval resources
1st step of ORM - Answer Identify
Identify ORM - Answer Begin with an outline or chart of the major steps. Then conduct a
preliminary hazard analysis by listing all of the hazards associated with each step.
2nd step of ORM - Answer Assess
Assess ORM - Answer Determine the associated degree of risk in terms of probability
and severity
3rd step of ORM - Answer Make Risk Decisions
, Make Risk Decisions ORM - Answer Develop risk control options. Start with the most
seriosu risk first and select controls that will reduce the risk to a minimum consistent
with mission accomplishment. Decide if benefit outweighs the risk
4th Step of ORM - Answer Implement Controls
Implement Controls ORM - Answer Used to eliminate hazards or reduce the degree of
risk
5th Step of ORM - Answer Supervise
Supervise ORM - Answer Conduct follow-up evaluations of controls to make sure they
remain in place or have the desired effect.

protection
NBC Environment - Answer Deliberate or accidental employment or threat of NBC
weapons attack with other CBR materials.
Chemical Warfare - Answer Employment of chemical agents that are intended for use in
military operations to kill, seriously injure, or incapacitate personnel due to the
physiological effect.
Types of chemical Agents - Answer Nerve, Blister, Blood, Choking
Nerve Agent - Answer Liquid casualty agents that disrupt nerve impulses to the body
