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 RAC Chart
or Unlikely.
“Severity” is the outcome/degree if an incident, near miss, or E = Extremely High Risk
accident did 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 M = Moderate Risk
each “Hazard” on AHA. Annotate the overall highest RAC at the
top of AHA. L = Low Risk

An “area of retreat” shall be established and all employees
must be informed where this location shall be.If warnings have
been issued or if there are indications that severe weather is in
the vicinity of the project, weather conditions will be monitored
If it is determined by SSHO that severe weather will impact the
project either by monitoring the weather station and radar or by L
natural indications (i.e. lightning strikes), the project shall be
shut down and all employees and personnel shall relocate to
the “area of retreat” until it is determined that a threat of severe
weather no longer exists. EM385-1-1 Code: 06.j
If UXO are found during activity, stop what you are doing
safely, barricade area, recognize, retreat and report to XL L
Construction. Contact number on hard hat decal.
If you encounter areas with high volumes of insects and/or
animals that carry fleas or disease carrying insects, wear
personal protection equipment such as netted hoods, leather
work gloves, and high top work boots in conjunction with
trousers and long sleeved shirts. If you encounter areas prone
to poisonous snakes or lizards wear snake chaps or high
snake boots with trousers and long sleeved shirts. All
employees shall be trained in recognition of the snakes and M
their nesting habits. Employees are to be trained in first aid for
the treatment of snake bites. If you encounter an area where
you are exposed to poisonous plants remove and/or destroy
the poisonous plants if practical. Wear protective gloves when
handling areas prone to poisonous plants. Apply protective
ointments and wash exposed body parts with soap and water.
a. Watch for any loose debris or uneven surfaces that could
cause you to twist your ankle. If rain should occur, clean
equipment steps which could cause slippery conditions. b.
Stretch first. Use following lifting techniques, Bend knees, keep
back straight, keep the load close to your body. If over 40lbs, L
get help. c. Watch hand placement at all times. Position hand
where fingers will not get caught 100% gloves (level 1 cut
resistant) EM385-1-1 Code: 24.A.07, 14.A.04, 05.A.08
a. Prior digging make sure contact Miss Utility have an active
ticket and complete the GC excavation permit. b. Inspect
markings and sounding areas for signs of underground
utilities. c. Dig a test pit by hand prior digging trench. If unmark L
underground utilities are found document and report them
immediately.

egress: ladder or ramp within 25 ft. Use proper lifting
techniques. Use gloves when using hand tools.
Use proper lifting techniques. Do not bend at the waist, team
lift if needed. Ask for the help of more workers if the load is
very. Use leather gloves when handling forms. Minimum two
workers should lift the form - one worker must lift one side, and
second worker must lift other side.Avoid Pinch points. Wear L
gloves to protect from cuts. Properly dispose of unusable
material. Utilize proper PPE during re-bar cutting operations
including safety glasses and face shield. Goggles may be
utilized in conjunction with face shields.
OSHA states that formwork shall be designed, fabricated,
erected, supported, braced and maintained so that it will be
capable of supporting without failure all vertical and lateral
loads that may reasonably be anticipated to be applied to the L
formwork. Tranined employees should install formwork. It must
be inspected before placing the concrete.
Review SDS (safety data sheet), use hand & eye protection
when necessary. Allow for proper ventilation. Keep L
