RISK MANAGEMENT
SABOT
• Risk Management
• GAR Work-Sheet
GAR SCORING
1. The GAR scoring system for determining Risk is
made up of six categories:
SUPERVISION
PLANNING
CREW SELECTION
CREW FITNESS
ENVIRONMENT
(MISSION, EVENT or EVOLUTION) COMPLEXITY
GAR SCORING
Each category is given a score of 1 to 10
1 being no risk and 10 the most.
The entire boat crew must have input.
The highest individual score is used for that
category.
GAR SCORING
This GAR scoring should be done
before the start of every mission and each time
there is a
change.
A change would be anything that changes the
mission including time underway, the number of
crew
onboard, weather, etc.)
GAR SCORING
The scores for each category are added together to
determine the total GAR score. If total GAR score is
under 24 the missions score is in the green and should
be safe to proceed. You must continue to monitor the
progress of the mission for anything that would change
the score. Input from the entire crew is necessary with
each review.
GAR SCORING
If the total GAR score is 24 to 44 the mission score is in
the amber and measures should be taken that would
lower the score. If you can’t determine what action to
take, consult the SAR Mission Coordinator (SMC) for
advise or an alternate plan.
GAR SCORING
If the total GAR score is over 44, the mission is in the
Red and should not be done. Consult the SMC for an
alternate plan. It could be there is a better resource
available to perform the mission.
GAR SCORING
• Supervision: What supervision is available for this
mission. Consider the skill and experience level of
the coxswain. What is the attitude of the coxswain?
Is it positive, macho, etc?
• How readily available is the SAR Mission Coordinator
(SMC) for advise and input in handling any situation
that may come up. It is desirable to have a direct
radio link with the SMC.
GAR SCORING
Planning:
•
How much planning went into the mission?
•
Were contingencies built into the plan?
•
Is there enough food and water onboard to carry out
the mission if the mission carries on for an extended
period?
•
Does everyone in the crew have the proper gear if
weather conditions change?
•
Are all required systems onboard in working
condition?
GAR SCORING
Crew Selection:
• What is the experience and skill level of the selected
crew?
• Is all of the crew familiar with this facility and each
other?
• Do you have enough crew for the mission or are you
operating with a bare minimum number of Crew?
• Some missions like performing a search or a tow may
require more than a minimum number of crew.
GAR SCORING
• Crew Fitness:
• What is the physical, mental and emotional condition of
the crew? Talk with each other to make determination.
• Is the crew well rested? Consider the age and dexterity
of each crewmember. The older the crew, the higher the
score.
• Does anyone in the crew have any condition that could
affect the outcome of the mission?
• Is anyone on any medications that would affect the
performance of the mission?
GAR SCORING
Environment:
• What are the current and forecasted environmental
factors? Wind, temperature, precipitation should be
considered.
• What are the limiting factors for this facility?
(Note:)The facility limitations should be listed on the
“Facilities Offer-for-Use” form. You are required to have
RADAR to operate when visibility is under 1 mile.
GAR SCORING
(Mission or Event, or Evolution) Complexity:
• How complex is the planned (mission, event or
evolution) when weighed against the facility and the
crew onboard?
• Search and towing is much more complex than a
routine safety patrol.
• Maintaining a Safety Zone around a regatta or other
event or attraction may get very complicated when
there is a large number of the boating public present.
GAR SCORING
If any category is at or near 10, you may want to examine
Why and see what could be done to lower the risk.
The GAR score should be updated periodically as the
Mission progresses.
Consider passing the current GAR score to your shoreside (station) controlling unit with every position and
status report as a reminder to re-examine your score.
REPORTING
• The GAR score must be passed to the station
or controlling unit at the start of a patrol and
any time the score changes.
• It may be a good idea to pass the score with
every “Operations and position” report so that
you are reminded to review the score as the
mission progresses.
