RISK-BASED DECISION MAKING (RBDM) GUIDELINES

The risk-based decision making (RBDM) guidelines describe the United States Coast Guard's risk management toolbox. The concepts, tools, and examples in the guidelines provide proven methods for addressing real decision making needs in the marine safety, security, and environmental protection arenas. Decision makers throughout the marine industry will find the insights, suggestions, and procedures in the guidelines valuable in the conduct of their operations. There are four volumes. Volume 1 is guide to finding specific advice, guidance, and examples in the remaining volumes. Volume 2 provides the basics of RBDM and explains key steps in the process. Volume 3 provides guidance on getting started with risk assessment applications and specific steps for applying specific risk assessment tools. Volume 4 is an electronic library of resource materials on CD-ROM. In addition to electronic versions of material in Volumes 1-3, Volume 4 provides information on other risk assessment methods and tools; example risk assessments from the field; a data source compendium for finding data on risk assessments; and job aids, such as checklists, for use in the field. The guidelines are available on the web as HTM and PDF files at the USCG's Risk web site.
