About this file
This document provides guidance for assigning Risk Assessment Codes (RAC) when conducting leased Safety and Health Risk Management Surveys at multiple GSA Region 5 locations. It details how to evaluate condition severity and incident probability to determine the appropriate RAC using three tables. Table 1 defines four categories of condition severity based on potential impact to personnel, mission importance, expected time period, and potential replacement costs. Table 2 lists four categories for estimating the probability of undesirable incidents occurring. Table 3 is the RAC Matrix, which assigns a RAC number from 1 to 5 based on the intersection of the condition severity and incident probability determined. The RAC quantifies identified hazardous conditions to allow prioritization. This guidance is to be used when completing the Risk Management Survey and Occupational Safety and Health Survey templates for the solicitation.

Assigning Risk Assessment Codes
The information below has been provided to further detail the Risk Assessment Codes (RAC) in addition to the guidance already provided within the Risk Management Survey template tab titled "RAC
Guidance". Please also use this RAC scoring guidance for the Occupational Safety and Health Survey template when applicable.
Evaluate the condition severity (Table 1) and determine the incident probability (Table 2) if the incident did occur. Then, using the RAC Matrix (Table 3), determine the RAC number for each identified risk condition.
The level of risk for each analyzed condition is expressed in terms of a RAC. The RAC(s) quantifies identified hazardous conditions and allows them to be prioritized. The RAC number reflects the risk potential of the resulting incident and not the individual event(s) contributing to the incident.
The following steps indicate how RAC values are assigned to potential conditions and their associated undesirable events:
1. Develop scenarios that describe how the most reasonable undesirable events affect the identified potential conditions.
2. Estimate the severity of each condition. The condition severity is based upon the potential impact of the condition if the undesirable event(s) occur. Quantitative risk assessment techniques, computer modeling, published information and professional judgment are to be used to determine the severity. See Table 1, Condition Severity.

3. Estimate the probability of the undesirable event(s) occurring. Professional judgment is used to assign one of the incident probability categories. See Table 2, Incident Probability.
Table 2 - Incident Probability
Category Definition
A Likely to occur immediately or in a short period of time in the life of the facility.
B Probably will occur during the life of the facility.
C Possibly will occur during the life of the facility.
D Unlikely to occur during the life of the facility.
4. Determine the RAC number for each identified condition analyzed. This is accomplished by using Table 3, RAC Matrix. The intersection of the Condition Severity and Incident Probability
Category gives a direct reading of the applicable RAC.
