Risk Management
In February 2000, General Shinseki, Chief of the Army, challenged all Army leaders to reduce Army accidents by vigorously implementing the risk management training. The Corps of Engineers has accepted this challenge and adapted the Army Risk Management protocols to meet the needs of the Corps. To view the risk management presentation, click on the Risk Management link below. The Windows program "PowerPoint" should begin and simply use your mouse to move the scroll bar at the left to move through the presentation. Thanks, Safety is a team effort where the prize is awarded when everyone crosses the finish line.  To access RMIS Risk Management Web Site you must register with your AKO userid and password and register for accessing the RMIS training. Or, view the Risk Management Slide Show.  Hit function key F11 to view in full screen.  When finished, navigate to the first slide and toggle F11 off.   Press the back key on the Internet Explorer menu to exit.
