Notes: (Field Notes, Review Comments, etc.)
Step 1: Review each “Hazard” with identified safety “Controls” and determine RAC (See above)

“Probability” is the likelihood to cause an incident, near miss, or accident and

identified as: Frequent, Likely, Occasional, Seldom or Unlikely. RAC Chart
“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
Step 2: Identify the RAC (Probability/Severity) as E, H, M, or L for each M = Moderate Risk
“Hazard” on AHA. Annotate the overall highest RAC at the top of AHA. L = Low Risk
