12. IMPLEMENTATION. A key objective is to implement the ORM process as an integrated aspect of daily
activities and operations. Successfully implementing ORM will create an environment in which every Coast
Guard member is motivated to personally manage risk in all they do. Due to resource limitations, smaller
units are not expected to use these implementation methods as frequently or thoroughly as larger units having
more resources.
How do I implement ORM? Implementation efforts should correspond to the complexity of the processes and
procedures of the various activities targeted. In other words, devise simple implementation plans for simple
processes. Integration plans should target processes, procedures, and guidance affecting daily activities, such as
checklists, drill sheets, operations manuals, standard operating procedures (SOP), training doctrines, pre- and post-
deployment briefings, stress-related issues, orientation and indoctrination programs for new personnel, plans for
dockside availabilities or yard periods, construction plans, refueling and/or maintenance procedures, hazardous
materials procedures, recreational activities, fiscal management, acquisition, and accountability procedures, among
others. A person or team in a command's existing leadership structure, or those specially designated to monitor
ORM integration initiatives, will select and prioritize those processes. Each individual command ORM integration
plan should include responsibilities, milestones, and performance measures for specific actions. Commanders,
commanding officers or officers-in-charge, and upper management should monitor the progress of implementation
efforts.
