Choose the emirate, your role and the activities on site. The plan fills in the hazards and controls, the permits those activities need, and the documents the authority expects — each traced back to the UAE Construction Evidence Matrix.
5 hazards from the selected activities. Untick any that do not apply.
Plant and traffic: Struck by plant, crushing between plant and structure, reversing incidents
Mobile plant working alongside people
Segregated pedestrian routes with physical barriers; one-way traffic management plan; trained banksman for reversing; reversing alarms and cameras; high-visibility clothing; site speed limit enforced; daily plant pre-use checks.
Who may be harmed: Operatives on foot, plant operators, visitors · Engineering control · Vehicle & Machinery permit · Initial risk 20 → residual 8
Manual handling: Musculoskeletal injury, crush and trap injuries to hands and feet
Moving materials by hand
Mechanical handling aids (trolleys, pallet trucks, vacuum lifters) provided; loads split and weights marked; team lifts for awkward loads; manual handling training; gloves and safety boots issued.
Who may be harmed: Operatives handling materials · Engineering control · No permit required · Initial risk 8 → residual 4
Health hazards: Noise-induced hearing loss and respirable crystalline silica dust
Cutting, breaking or grinding materials
On-tool water suppression or dust extraction; low-noise equipment; exclusion of other trades from the area; hearing protection to the correct SNR; FFP3 RPE with face-fit testing; health surveillance for exposed workers.
Who may be harmed: Operators, nearby trades · Engineering control · No permit required · Initial risk 12 → residual 4
Interfaces: Uncontrolled interface — one trade's work creates a hazard for another
Simultaneous operations with other contractors
SIMOPS matrix agreed at the daily coordination meeting; permits cross-referenced and de-conflicted; physical segregation or time separation of conflicting activities; single point of coordination named.
Who may be harmed: All trades in the area · Administrative control · No permit required · Initial risk 12 → residual 6
Emergency preparedness: Delayed or disorganised response to injury, fire or rescue
Emergency during the works
Emergency numbers, assembly point and nearest hospital stated in the MSRA and briefed; trained first aiders and stocked first aid kit; fire points and evacuation route kept clear; rescue plan for height and confined space work; drill completed.
Who may be harmed: Everyone on site · Administrative control · No permit required · Initial risk 10 → residual 4
