Site Operations
Site Mobilization Safety
Every step from initial site establishment through to offices, stores, and welfare facilities in place and construction ready to begin.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the sequence of site mobilisation activities and their HSE controls.
- Establish site security, access control and emergency assembly points before works begin.
- Set up welfare facilities per ADOSH-SF welfare requirements.
- Position site offices, stores and workshops to minimise interaction with construction traffic.
- Complete the mobilisation checklist before any live construction activity.

1. Perimeter & Access
Hoarding minimum 2.4 m, gates with turnstile access control, security 24/7. Separate gates for pedestrians, plant and deliveries where possible. Emergency assembly point identified and signposted from day one.
2. Welfare Facilities
ADOSH-SF (formerly OSHAD) requires drinking water, toilets (1 per 25 workers), shaded rest area, air-conditioned canteen, prayer room, first-aid room, and drying room for wet weather in place before work begins. Facilities cleaned and stocked daily.
3. Site Offices & Stores
Positioned away from crane operating radius, at least 15 m from perimeter, with fire-rated separation from stores. Stores segregate flammables, chemicals, gases and general materials — each with its own bunding and ventilation.
4. Utilities
Temporary power distribution by licensed electrician, RCD protection on every socket, monthly PAT testing. Water and drainage connected before welfare opens. Fibre and Wi-Fi installed for HSE reporting apps.
5. Traffic Management
One-way flow where possible, speed limit 20 km/h internal, pedestrian walkways segregated with hard barriers, delivery marshalling area outside the fenceline.
6. Mobilisation Sign-off
A mobilisation checklist signed by the Client, Consultant and Main Contractor confirms perimeter, welfare, first-aid, fire, permits, insurance and NOCs are all in place. No construction activity may start until all items are green.
