Background: Risk management means identifying, assessing, and controlling risks to reduce and minimize potential negative consequences. Identifying the dimensions and components of risk management in CBRNE incidents creates a systematic and organized format that allows hospitals to act efficiently in the face of various threats, especially CBRNE incidents, and prevent irreparable damage. Methods: This qualitative study with descriptive exploratory approach was conducted in 2025. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, purposive sampling, and the participation of 14 experts and officials, and analyzed using the framework analysis method. Results: In the qualitative study, the dimensions and components of risk management were identified and determined in each stage of the risk management cycle (prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery). So that prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery have 7, 6, 7, and 8 main components, respectively. Conclusion: Risk management components in CBRNE incidents in military hospitals help reduce response time, secure staff and patients, optimize resources, effectively coordinate teams, and learn from the incident. Through risk assessment, response planning and exercises, logistics management, biosafety and security, information management, ongoing training, and post-event review, this framework leads to adaptation to specific military threats and improves operational efficiency in critical situations.
