Which ORM step involves continuing to monitor the situation after controls are implemented?

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

Answer: (A)

In ORM, the phase that involves continuing to monitor the situation after controls are implemented is the supervise and monitor stage. This is the ongoing oversight that ensures the chosen controls remain effective as conditions change, new hazards appear, or the mission evolves. It creates a feedback loop: you watch how the controls perform, assess whether risk remains at an acceptable level, and adjust if needed.

This fits best because it emphasizes staying engaged after actions are taken, rather than just identifying hazards, planning tasks, or making the initial risk decision. Identifying hazards is about spotting potential problems before any controls, defining mission tasks is planning and organizing the work, and executing a decision is putting the chosen controls into action. None of those focus on the continuous oversight that monitoring provides.
