In the icy road accident scenario, what is the source of the accident? - Answer-The icy
roadway
, In the icy road scenario, what is the outcome? - Answer-the result of the mechanism
interacting with the source

-Experience and other experts
-War-gaming what-if scenarios
Which hazard assessment tool did OSHA develop to produce detailed written
procedures for safely performing a particular job or process? - Answer-Job hazard
analysis (JHA)
Why does the RM practitioner assess the hazards identified in step 1? - Answer-to
determine the level of risk for each hazard
Match each term to the correct definition. - Answer-A measure of expected loss from a
given hazard - risk
the likelihood a harmful event will occur - probability
the extent of expected harm from an event, in terms of the amount of injury, property
damage, or other mission-impairing effect - severity
Match each term to the correct definition. - Answer-Continuously, regularly, or inevitably
- Frequently
probably will not occur, not impossible - unlikely
several or numerous times or a common occurrence - likely
infrequently - seldom
sporadically or intermittently - occasional
Match each term to the correct definition. - Answer-little or no impact to mission or unit
readiness; minimal injury or damage - negligible
degraded mission capability or unit readiness; lost days due to injury or illness -
moderate
complete mission failure or loss of ability to accomplish mission; death or permanent,
total disability - catastrophic
significantly degraded mission capability or unit readiness; permanent partial disability
or hospitalization of at least three personnel - critical
What is the risk level for a hazard with frequent probability and moderate severity? -
Answer-high
What is the risk level for a hazard with unlikely probability and critical severity? -
Answer-low
