Site welfare cabin (portacabin) checklist

100 set-up points across 10 areas, kept separately for each emirate. Use it when you set up site offices, toilets, water, rest, first aid and transport.

These are practical set-up prompts. We do not list size, number or distance limits that we have not verified. Read each limit from the authority document named below, and confirm with the authority. The one verified ratio shown is toilets at 1:25 (DM Code / ADOSH-SF CoP 18.0).

Dubai: authorities to confirm with

Dubai Municipality (DM), Trakhees, DDA

Welfare references: DM Code of Construction Safety Practice; DDA Circular 392; Trakhees EHS CoP

ADNOC sites and projects

If your cabins are on an ADNOC or ADNOC Group company site, ADNOC's own HSE requirements apply in addition to the emirate authority above. We do not list ADNOC's cabin or camp limits here, because we have not verified them.

Ask your ADNOC contract holder or HSE focal point for the current contractor HSE requirements and welfare and camp standards, and tick the points above against those documents. Do the same for any other client or master developer that sets its own rules.
