  • Report Issued To:

1. Hazard Classification

  • A hazard class rating will be inserted by the inspector [Reference: 6709.12, 11.4]. Hazards found during an inspection shall be classified so that managers can allocate time and dollars for their correction in order of priority based on the degree of danger present. Hazards shall be classified as: imminent danger, serious, and non-serious based on the following criteria:
    1. Imminent danger hazards risk assessment code 1 (RAC 1) would likely cause death, severe injury or high property losses immediately, or before the hazard can be eliminated through normal procedures. Immediate employee protection and abatement is required. An example is a leaking propane gas cylinder in crew quarters.
    2. Serious hazards risk assessment code 2/3 (RAC 2/3) are those in which there is high probability that serious injury, illness, or extensive property damage would result unless corrective action is taken. Abatement shall be accomplished within 14 days. An example is a broken stair tread.
    3. Non-serious hazards risk assessment code 4 (RAC 4) are those that could cause injury, illness, or property damage. Abatement shall be accomplished in 30 days. An example is a broken window in a workshop.

    Note: In the event a hazard cannot be corrected in the time allotted (contractor not available or contracting issues) a plan must be in place to correct the hazard as soon as possible. All employees must be notified of the hazard to limit exposure.
