What is the focus during the 'Time Critical' level of the ORM process?

In the 'Time Critical' level of the Operational Risk Management (ORM) process, the emphasis is placed on making rapid decisions in daily operations. This stage is characterized by the need for swift action in circumstances that are often high-pressure and may involve immediate risks. The goal is to assess risks quickly and effectively, ensuring that decisions can be made promptly to maintain safety and operational effectiveness.

This approach allows personnel to manage pressing challenges that arise unexpectedly during operations without the luxury of detailed planning or extensive data analysis that would be more appropriate in other ORM levels. The rapid decision-making framework is essential for dealing with dynamic situations where time is of the essence, such as adapting to changing environments or responding to incidents as they occur.
