and identified as: Frequent, Likely, Occasional, Seldom or Unlikely. RAC Chart
“Severity” is the outcome/degree if an incident, near miss, or accident
did occur and identified as: Catastrophic, Critical, Marginal, or Negligible. E = Extremely High Risk

H = High Risk

Step 2: Identify the RAC (Probability/Severity) as E, H, M, or L for each

“Hazard” on AHA. Annotate the overall highest RAC at the top of AHA. M = Moderate Risk

L = Low Risk
