What follows after making risk decisions in the ORM process?

After making risk decisions in the Operational Risk Management (ORM) process, the next logical step is to implement controls. This step involves putting in place the measures or procedures identified during the risk decision-making phase to mitigate or eliminate the identified risks. Implementing controls ensures that the strategies chosen are applied effectively, allowing for safer operations and minimizing potential hazards.

In the ORM process, after initial risk assessment and decision-making, action must be taken to address those risks. This action translates the theoretical risk mitigation strategies into practical steps, such as engineering controls, administrative policies, or personal protective measures. By executing these controls, the organization takes proactive steps to manage risks actively, enhancing overall safety and ensuring a higher level of operational integrity.
