SECTION II - RISK ASSESSMENT CODE (RAC) MATRIX

PROBABILITY (Select - X only one)

RAC CHART SEVERITY
FREQUENT LIKELY OCCASIONAL SELDOM UNLIKELY

E = EXTREMELY HIGH RISK CATASTROPHIC E E H H M

H = HIGH RISK CRITICAL E H H M L

M = MODERATE RISK MARGINAL H M M L L

L = LOW RISK NEGLIGIBLE M L L L L

STEP 1: REVIEW EACH “HAZARD” WITH IDENTIFIED SAFETY "CONTROLS" AND DETERMINE RAC.

“PROBABILITY” IS THE LIKELIHOOD TO CAUSE AN INCIDENT, NEAR MISS, OR ACCIDENT AND IDENTIFIED AS: FREQUENT, LIKELY, OCCASIONAL,
