Which ORM step is primarily involved in executing the response after hazards are identified?

• A. Monitor situation
• B. Identify mission tasks
• C. Plan
• D. Execute decision

Answer: (D)

In ORM, once hazards are identified and the risk decisions are made, the action drives the response: executing the decision. This is where you put the chosen risk controls and response into practice—carrying out tasks, applying procedures, and coordinating resources to mitigate the hazards. It’s the transition from analysis and planning to real-world action. Monitoring the situation comes after actions are in motion to ensure effectiveness and adjust as needed, while identifying mission tasks and planning occur earlier to shape what needs to be done.
