Risk Assessment Matrix

  1. PURPOSE.  To identify the tactical risk management program for accident prevention in both garrison and (field) training operations.
  2. APPLICABILITY.  This applies to all aspects of the ROTC program.
  3. GENERAL.  The Risk Assessment Management Program (RAMP) provides leaders with a systematic approach to controlling and reducing risk.  It is a process which requires leaders to identify hazards or risks associated with training events, minimize or control these risks, and weigh them against overall training value.  Leaders will conduct risk assessments whether formally, during the planning process of a training event, or informally, while making a hasty plan.  All training and activities require a risk assessment.
  4. GUIDANCE.
    1. Integrate risk management into all training and activities from concept through termination.
    2. Accept no unnecessary risk.
    3. Make risk decisions at the proper level.
    4. Document risk decisions.
  5. HAZARD CONTROL PROCESS.
    1. Identify the Hazards.  Hazards are potential sources of danger which may cause injury, damage, and/or mission degradation.  They may be encountered during training and other activities and include such obvious things as weather, terrain, weapons, and equipment.  Hazards can also be less obvious, such as a stream that appears shallow, but is actually deep in some places.
