12. Federal Aviation Administration 12 RISK/HAZARD IDENTIFIER Before beginning a job, select a category and read the questions that identify some risks and/or hazards that you feel are problems for you on this job assignment. Use the Risk/Hazard identifier to classify your answers. If you answer NO to all the questions move the wheel of that category to show Zero in the center window. This means you can NOT identify any of the risks/hazards listed for that category.

13. Federal Aviation Administration 13 RISK/HAZARD IDENTIFIER If you answered YES to one question, move the wheel in that category to show (1:Green) in the center window. Select another category, dial in the correct number (1,2,3,4,5) in the center window to reflect the number of questions you answered with a YES.

14. Federal Aviation Administration 14 RISK/HAZARD IDENTIFIER Select another category, dial in the correct number (1,2,3,4,5) in the center window to reflect the number of questions you answered with a YES. Do this for all four categories. Add all four numbers in the window. Apply the sum to the scale in the center window, 0–20.

15. Federal Aviation Administration 15 RISK/HAZARD IDENTIFIER Zero represents NO known risks/hazards and twenty represents the maximum amount of risks/hazards you have identified. Assess your situation and try to lower the total number as much as possible by removing and/or minimizing those risks/hazards where you answered YES.

16. Federal Aviation Administration 16 RISK/HAZARD IDENTIFIER It may not get you the day off with pay, but it will increase your awareness of the risks or hazards thereby reducing the likelihood for error.
