Notes: (Field Notes, Review Comments, etc.) Step 1: Review each “Hazard” with identified safety “Controls” and determine RAC (See above)
Basic PPE- Hard Hat, safety-toed boots, safety vest, safety glasses, hearing
protection as needed. “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
Principal/Job Steps Hazards Controls RAC
Mobilize to the jobsite Being struck by oncoming traffic and or Wear safety vest at all times when on the jobsite to make

times when on the jobsite to protect head from any falling debris
from other ongoing work.

1. Pinch points, Fall Hazard, Falling
Objects, and Foot Injury.
Wear hard hats at all times to prevent head injury from material
falling off truck, wear steel toe boots at all times when working L
on the jobsite to prevent material from crushing foot.
Wear gloves when needed to avoid potential splinters, use
proper lifting techniques when unloading equipment. Lift with
legs and not back.

2. Splinters for metal shavings, back injury,
tripping hazard.
Individual lifting limit should not exceed 75 lbs per person or
150 lbs per (2) people or 225 lbs per (3). Minimum of (1) person L
in the trailer and (1) person on the ground receiving materials.
Minimum of (2) people transferring materials. No multiple
transfer of position for personnel. Must have appropriate
number of people in the truck and on the ground to adequately
and safely move materials without changing positions.
When staging material in designated work area the material will
be placed in an orderly fashion and free of any walkways to
avoid tripping hazards.

L
The construction, installation, and use of ladders shall conform
to ANSI A14.1, ANSI A14.2, ANSI A14.3, and ANSI A14.4, as
applicable.
a. Ladders shall be restricted to their intended use. b. Ladders
shall be inspected for visible defects on a daily basis and after
any occurrence that could affect their safe use. Broken or
damaged ladders shall be immediately tagged "DO NOT USE,"
or with similar wording, and withdrawn from service until
restored to a condition meeting their original design. c. Ladders
shall not be moved, shifted, or extended while occupied. d.
Ladders shall not be climbed by more than one person at a time,
unless it is designed to be climbed by more than one person. e.
Portable ladders used as means of access to ascend and
descend to a work location do not require fall protection,
however only light work for short periods of time shall be
performed on portable ladders. No work requiring lifting of
heavy materials or substantial exertion shall be done from
ladders. f. When ladders are the only means of access to or from
a working area for 25 or more workers, or when a ladder is to
serve simultaneous two-way traffic, double cleated ladders shall
be used. g. Portable ladders shall have slip-resistant feet. h. The
top or top step of a stepladder shall not be used, as a step
unless it has been designed to be so used by the manufacturer.
i. Ensure latches are in place before climbing an extension
ladder. j. Keep loose tools off the steps and top platform. L
Stilts brought to the site by workers must be inspected by the
supervisor prior to use.
