Founder, Site Safety LLC
Michael founded Site Safety LLC to make UAE construction safety compliance something a site team can actually evidence, rather than a folder assembled the week before an audit. He writes and maintains the compliance guidance published here — the emirate regulation pages, the MSRA material, the Evidence Matrix and the printable site checklists.
The editorial rule across every page is the same: no invented statistics, no invented case studies or client names, and every regulatory statement traceable to the authority's own publication — MOHRE, the Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre (ADOSH-SF), Dubai Municipality, the Dubai Legislation Portal, Trakhees or Civil Defence. Guidance published here is written from those sources and is not legal advice.
Pages he maintains
- UAE Evidence Matrix
- Dubai & UAE safety regulations
- MSRA guide
- UAE HSE legal guide 2026
- Compliance hub
- Emirate compliance dashboard
- Safety plan builder
- Incident data methodology
