Step1: Review each "Hazard" with identified safety "Controls" and determine RAC (See above)

Project Manager: "Probability" likelihood to cause an incident, near miss, or accident and
RAC Chart
Superintendent: Identified as: Frequent, Likely, Occasional, Seldom or Unlikely.
Foreman: "Severity" is the outcome/degree if an incident, near miss, or accident did E = Extremely High Risk

occur and identified as: Catastrophic, Critical, Marginal, or Negligible H = High Risk

Using Powered Industrial Trucks on the jobsite to Step 2: Identify the RAC (Probability Severity) as E, H, M, or L for each M = Moderate Risk
Description of Work:
move equipment and materials
"Hazard" on THA/AHA. Annotate the overall highest RAC at the top of THA/AHA L = Low Risk

 Only inspect the forklift when it is off and the keys have been removed to
prevent any starting during inspection
 Use only approved storage areas in the cab to store materials to avoid
material from obstructing safe operations
 Never operate the forklift while outside the cab and not seated in designated
Crushing seat M
 Proper size of dunnage must be used under each load; at least 3” tall and
long enough to support the total material size to avoid tip over
 Never stand a board on end as dunnage, it must be laid flat

Tip over  Never drive with a load in a raised position, always keep the forks as low to
the ground as possible
 Always level machine before raising a load
 If outrigger equipped then use outriggers for increased stability or if required
