ORM establishes which of the following?

• A. Identifies Effective Control Measure
• B. Defines Unit Mission
• C. Sets Risk Tolerance Levels
• D. Allocates Resources

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is how ORM turns hazards into concrete actions that reduce risk. In the ORM process, the goal is to identify what controls will effectively lower the chance and impact of hazards, so the operation can proceed safely. That focus on selecting and implementing actions that actually mitigate risk is what makes identifying effective control measures the best answer.

Defining a unit’s mission, setting risk tolerance levels, and allocating resources are important activities in planning and leadership, but they’re not the primary output of ORM. ORM operates within those higher-level boundaries to determine which controls will best reduce risk to an acceptable level, given the mission and available resources.
