Risk Management (RM) is the AF’s approach to safety in all we do. You must follow the guiding principles listed below:
- Accept no unnecessary risk
- Make risk decisions at the appropriate level
- Accept risk when the benefits outweigh the costs
- Integrate into operations and planning at all levels
- Apply the process cyclically and continuously
RM is a decision-making process to systematically evaluate possible courses of action, identify risks and benefits and determine the best course of action. RM is a five-step process:
- Identify the hazards
- Assess the hazards
- Develop controls and make decisions
- Implement controls
- Supervise and evaluate
While in BMT the Dorm Chief is the RM and Ground Safety Representative for your flight. The Dorm Chief will attend all risk management meetings with squadron leadership and must report all hazards to an MTI or supervisory personnel.
