17.7. Training Realism Assessment.<br />

18. Action 3—List Causes. Make a list of the causes associated with each hazard identified in the hazard<br />

list. A hazard may have multiple causes related to each of the 5-M’s. In each case, try to identify the root<br />

cause (the first link in the chain of events leading to mission degradation, personnel injury, death, or<br />

property damage). Risk controls can be effectively applied to root causes. Causes should be annotated<br />

with the associated hazards in the same paper or computer record mentioned in the previous action. The<br />

same tools for Action 2 can be used here.<br />

19. Strategic Tools. If time and resources permit, and additional hazard information is required, use<br />

strategic hazard analysis tools. These are normally used for medium and long term planning, complex<br />

operations, or operations in which the hazards are not well understood.<br />

19.1. The first step of in-depth analysis should be to examine existing databases or available historical and<br />

hazard information regarding the operation. Suggested tools are:<br />

19.1.1. The mission mishap analysis.<br />

19.1.2. Cause and effect diagrams.<br />

19.2. The following tools are particularly useful for complex, coordinated operations in which multiple<br />

units, participants, and system components and simultaneous events are involved:<br />

19.2.1. Multilinear event sequence (MES).<br />

19.2.2. Interface analysis.<br />

19.2.3. Failure mode and effect analysis.<br />

19.3. The following tools are particularly useful for analyzing the hazards associated with physical position<br />

and movement of assets:<br />

19.3.1. Mapping tool.<br />

19.3.2. Energy trace and barrier analysis.<br />

19.3.3. Interface analysis.<br />

20. Tool selection and other resources. It is impractical for the USAF to create detailed procedures to<br />

ensure the “right” tools are utilized for every activity and every contingency. On the other hand, choosing<br />

the best tools is important when we are planning to undertake a potentially hazardous operation. Most of<br />

the tools mentioned can be used in a variety of creative ways. Additionally, there are a number of tools that<br />

were not mentioned in the preceding paragraphs but are included in Attachment 2 since there are specific<br />

situations where they may be the best choice. It is up to the user to select the appropriate tool or<br />

combination of tools and the extent of effort to expend on each. Since there are generally no right or<br />

wrong selections, knowledge and experience will help in making the choice. Details and examples of their<br />

use is provided at Attachment 2.<br />

20.1. Although there are numerous tools listed within Attachment 2, the most frequently used tools are<br />

depicted at Figure 6 and are included in Section A2.A of Attachment 2. These tools are normally used in<br />
