Activity/Work Task:
Overall Risk Assessment Code (RAC)

(Use highest code)
Project Location:
RISK ASSESSMENT CODE (RAC) MATRIX
Severity \ Probability Frequent Likely Occasional Seldom Unlikely
Catastrophic E E H H M
Critical E H H M L
Marginal H M M L L
Negligible M L L L L
Step 1: Review each Hazard with identified safety "Controls". Determine RAC (see above). RAC CHART
Probability: Likelihood the activity will cause a Mishap (Near Miss, Incident, or Accident). Identify as Frequent, Likely, Occasional, Seldom or Unlikely. E = Extremely High Risk
Severity: The outcome if a mishap occurred. Identify as Catastrophic, Critical, Marginal, or Negligible. H = High Risk
Step 2: Identify the RAC (probability vs. severity) as E, H, M, or L for each "Hazard" on AHA. Annotate the overall highest RAC at the top of the AHA. M = Moderate Risk
L = Low Risk
