12.7. Imminent Danger Situations. Anyone identifying an imminent danger situation will
immediately bring it to the attention of the commander and supervisor in charge. Commanders or
supervisors must take immediate action to eliminate or control the hazard or cease operations and
withdraw exposed personnel until the situation is safe.
12.8. Posting Hazards. The fire, safety or health officials complete the AF Form 1118
identifying RAC 1, 2 and 3 hazards according to Attachment 9 and forwards to the supervisor
for posting. If the hazard is not abated within 30 days, a copy of the AF Form 1118 will be sent
to the Wing safety office by the office assigning the RAC for addition to the master hazard
abatement program. Supervisors must alert employees to the hazardous condition, any interim
control measures and permanent corrective actions underway or programmed. Supervisors post
the AF Form 1118 in the workplace no later than the end of the next duty day after identification
of the hazard. AF Form 979, Danger Tag, may be used for this purpose on equipment. See
AFOSH Standard 91-501 or current AFOSH guidance.
12.8.1. Location. Post AF Form 1118 on, at or as near as possible to the hazard. However,
where the nature of the hazard or workplace is such that this is not practical, post notices in a
prominent place where all employees can see them. The workplace supervisor must ensure
the posted AF Form 1118 is maintained in good condition and employees are kept informed
of any changes. If adverse conditions are present, enclose the notice in a suitable protective
cover.

Notice of Hazard. Removal of notices will only occur after the hazard has been corrected
and validated by the issuing authority.

not corrected within 30 days are included into a formal installation hazard abatement plan and

12.9.2. Safety, fire or health officials assist functional managers in preparation of the AF
