About this app

Official Tool for real-time assessment calculator & short-term risk planning.

To accomplish the mission of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, we expose employees, volunteers, and contractors to a wide variety of environments ranging from secure office settings to extremes of weather, terrain, fires, and floods. All of these workplace situations have hazards that present some degree of risk of harm to employees. Fortunately, most of the risk our employees face is manageable through deliberate, collaborative, and thoughtful risk management. This App exists to help employees expose risks, evaluate how to mitigate them to the lowest practicable level, and then decide if achieving the objectives is worth accepting the residual risks.

The Operational Risk Management (ORM) process can be used to assist agency leaders, supervisors, and employees with identifying and mitigating risk associated with the work we perform. This App provides a tool for employees to conduct a thorough assessment of real-time risks to compliment a risk informed decision.
