Any medicallyprescribedmedicationmust bedeclaredtothe supervisor and HSE department,
then an occupational health assessment will be put in place where there is an identified

9. LOGO’s
Page 9 of 19
increased risk. Similarly, any person suffering an injury or illness where they require additional
support or attention including in the event of an emergency must have a risk assessment in
place.
10 Control the OHS Risks
The hazard reduction precedence is a method applicable. The steps within the hazard
reductionprecedence are the following:
Design out the Hazard
The first step in the hazard reduction precedence is to “design out” the hazard, by
taking it out of the system completely. Engineering perspective should be used
where applicable in trying to decide which part of the system must be taken out to
design out the hazard. For example, if the hazard is asphyxiation from nitrogen gas
bottles leaking in an enclosed area of a building, the nitrogen bottles can be stored or
located outside the building to prevent the hazardfrom occurring.
Safety Devices
If the hazard cannot be designed out, the next step is to use safety devices. For exam-
plea pressure relief valve is a safety device, to protect equipment against over
pressure.
Warning Devices
If the hazard cannot be designed out or cannot be adequately controlled with safety
devices, then the next best step is a warning device. For example, when a certain level
of smoke is detected, a smoke alarm is sounded, and we are alerted by sound to
evacuate the area. Gas monitoring and warning detectors are also common examples
of warning devices.
Special Procedures and Training
If warning devices are not sufficient, then to control the hazard or mitigate the
consequenceof the risk, special procedures andtraining maybe required.Special
procedures mayalso entail the useof personal protectiveequipment.Specialprocedures
and training can be used to control the hazard or mitigate the consequences. This is
the least desirablemethodbecause the hazardis controlled,by the ability of people to
appropriately respond during the emergency.

11 Occupational Health Problems
11.1 Skin Diseases
There are two main types of occupational skin disease (OSD)
 Irritant Contact Dermatitis is the most common
 Allergic Contact dermatitis affects some people and not others although they do
not know why.
The signs and symptoms of Occupational Skin Disease include
Signs Symptoms
Redness Burning pain
Dryness Stinging
Blisters Itchiness
Weeping cracks or sores Swelling
Common causes of OSD are:
Water Cleansers & Detergents
Organic Solvents Oil & Lubricants
Acids Alkalis
Oxidizing agents & Bleaches Plants
Prevention of OSD can be achieved by:
 Eliminating the irritant from the workplace or using a less potent product.
 Avoiding direct contact with the irritant.
 Protecting your skin
11.2 Noise
Areas and activities producing noise levels above 80 dB (A) must have appropriate
signage posted and hearing protection must be available. Above 85 dB (A) hearing
protection is mandatory and signage stating that hearing protection must be worn
must be displayed.
When employees are exposed to sound levels exceeding acceptable levels, feasible
administrativeorengineeringcontrolsmustbeimplementedtoreducethenoiselevels.
Signage and personal protective equipment such as earmuffs must be provided and
used.
Operational Control Guidelines

11. LOGO’s
Page 11 of 19
“Company Name” Construction will identify at an early stage so the appropriate
measures can be accounted for in the planning. These requirements will be taken into
account when choosing plant and the method of working. Surrounding site areas
affected by noise and vibration must be identified and necessary controls to be
implemented to lower the noise level.
In sensitive areas liaison with the local environmental authority may be needed to
ensure that continuous compliance is achieved.
Noise levels must be regularly monitored and recorded.
Vibration will be monitored and recorded to ensure that no damage is being caused
to adjacent buildings and services.
Surrounding residences and businesses will be informed when any special noisy and
vibrating operations take place on site.
All operations must be sequenced where appropriate to minimize the generation of
noise and vibration and plant and stockpiles must be located to absorb noise
emissions.
All personnel on site will be made aware of their responsibilities to ensure noise is
managed correctly.
In the event that noise and vibration emissions exceed the requirements then the
Emergency Control Guidelines below must be followed.
Emergency Control Guidelines
In the event of noise and vibration limits being exceeded the works will be stopped.
Where appropriate plant is to be re-orientated to re-direct emissions away from
sensitive receptors.
Where appropriate stockpile material is to be positioned to absorb emissions.
Where appropriate erect noise barriers.
If these steps are unsuccessful in reducing emissions to an acceptable level then
working practices and arrangements will be changed accordingly.
Monitoring must take place throughout the operation to ensure compliance.
All practicable methods must be used to reduce noise levels, but where these remain
excessive and harmful, ear protectors must be worn.
Recommended maximum exposure without protection is as follows:
Average Noise Level
dB (A) at the ear
Maximum exposure in one working day
85 8 hours
90 2 hours, 31 minutes
93 1 hours, 16 minutes
96 37 minutes, 48 sec
99 18 minutes, 59 sec
100 15 minutes
102 9 minutes, 27 sec

Maximum exposure in one working day
105 4 minutes, 43 sec
108 2 minutes, 22 sec
110 1 minutes, 29 sec
130 - 140 < 1 sec
11.3 Dust and Airborne contaminants
Suitable administrative or engineering controls must first be implemented to control
air borne contaminants at the acceptably prescribed levels. This can be accomplished
with proper dust prevention or ventilation systems.
Where necessary, frequent environmental sampling must be accomplishedto ensure
that ventilationsystems aremaintainingcontaminantsator belowtheacceptablelevel.
When engineering controls are not feasible to achieve full compliance, personal
protective equipment must be provided and used.
The most common airborne contaminants are:
Dust Work areas that generates significant amount of dust will
be watered
Welding
fumes
Areas inside must be well ventilated areas will be
monitored to see in forced ventilation is required.
Exhaust
Fumes
Emission testing will be conducted at 6 month interviews
for all
Generators, diesel welding machine and light towers etc
Preventive maintenance must be done to all machineries
to keep them in good working order and emission control.
Paints &
Solvents
Spray painting or the painting of fire pipe work will be
conducted in a specific area. When paining begins the
sub- contractor will be reminded to
bring the correct type of filter cartridge type masks and
MSDS applicable to their paints & Solvents
Ensure area is proper ventilated. Force ventilation is
done when required.
11.4 Manual Handling
Manual lifting tasks must be assessed before being undertaken. Weights must be
known beforebeinghandledandappropriateequipmentidentifiedandusedtohandle

13. LOGO’s
Page 13 of 19
heavy/ awkward loads. Workers undertaking manual lifting must be instructed in safe
practices and must follow safe manual lifting methods.
In general:
• Avoid or mechanise manual handling operations, as far as possible.
• Provide information on the load to be handled.
• Assess any hazardous manual handling operations which cannot be avoided.
• Complete manual handling assessments.
11.5 Whole Body and Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS)
Vibration Hazards.
Hand-arm vibration affects people who use hand-held or hand-guided power tools
and those workers holding materials that vibrate when fed into machines. Long-term
exposure to high levels of hand-arm vibration can lead to a range of disabling
conditionsincludingvibrationwhitefinger,permanentloss of feelinginthe fingers and
painful joints in the hands, wrists and arms.
Signs & symptoms
 Numbness, tingling in fingers, reduced sense to touch and temperature
 Vibration White Finger – episodes of finger blanching
Tools of Concern
 Compactors and whacker plate,
 Ride-on rollers / vibratory rollers
 Power Saws
 Pneumatic tools
 Concrete breakers
 Hammer drills
 Hand held grinders
Prior to any works requiring the use of vibrating equipment being undertaken, the
following must be done as minimum:
Planning
• During initial work planning stage, the correct tool and process for the task must
be identified.
• MS/RA must adequately address vibration exposure and contain details of
control measures.
• Identify the maximum permitted exposure times for HAVS in a working shift
(i.e. trigger time) for the equipment and processes.
Implementation
• Ensure that only vibrating work tools/equipment with trigger time tags attached

14. LOGO’s
Page 14 of 19
are issued.
• Ensure tools and equipment are regularly serviced and any defects are reported.
• Ensure all tools/equipment are maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer’s recommendations and maintain maintenance
register.
• Give operatives instruction on correct use of tools/equipment and safe
methods of working and recording usage.
• Encourage massaging/exercising/stretching of hands and fingers before and
during work.
Auditing and Monitoring
• Monitor the usage of equipment against trigger times.
• Monitor and supervise the use of vibrating tools/equipment and
processes to ensure daily exposure levels are not exceeded.
• Ensure operatives who are exposed to vibration as part of their work
are included in a surveillance protocol for HAVS.
Reporting
• Ensure operatives report symptoms of HAVS.
• In the event of HAVS being diagnosed via health screening, contractors
and suppliers must: remove employees from any vibration duties until a
medical diagnosis is obtained.
• Contractors and suppliers must report any suspected or confirmed cases of
HAVS through the reporting chain.
Control Measures
 Use the correct selection of equipment and purchase of low vibration tools and
equipment.
 Employeeswill begivenTool Boxtalksin howto recognisethe signs and symptoms
of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS)
 Minimise the length of time on the equipment, regular breaks, exercising fingers.
 Regular maintenance to be carried out
 Regular occupational health checks by qualified doctors
Whole-body vibration occurs when people are sitting or standing on industrial
machines or moving vehicles which transmit vibration and shocks into the operator.
Long-term exposure to high levels of whole-body vibration is associated with lowback
pain.
Control Measures for vehicles
 Regular maintenance of vehicles
 Suitable seat and ergonomics of the cab, to prevent constant twisting
 Use a machine more suited to the terrain

11.6 Weather Working Plan
Refer to Weather Working Plan as part of deliverables.
11.7 LEPTOSPIROSIS (Weil's Disease)
The presence of rats on construction sites should be discouraged so far as is
practicable,butto someextent can be unavoidable,andcarrieswithit the risk of Weil’s
disease. The risk exists even where rats are no longer present, but were prior to work
commencing, as the organism is carried in rats’ urine.
Precautions
 Discourage the presence of vermin by disposing of waste food, etc, properly.
 Do not handle the carcasses of dead rats, etc, found on site.
 Always wash your hands and forearms using hot water and soap. If clothing is
contaminated then bag it and wash it.
Symptoms and controls
 The leptospirosis organism contaminates humans by entering broken skin, or by
passing through very thin linings such the eye, ear, nose, throat and genitals areas.
Cover up any cuts and abrasions with waterproof dressings where there is any risk
of rats. If you cut yourself whilst at work, get it treated by a doctor/nurse.
 Consider the use of suitable PPE to assist in protection (i.e. coveralls).
 Leptospirosisstarts as a milddiseasebut becomesserious if leftuntreated, and can
be fatal.
 Unfortunately the signs and symptoms are very similar to flu. If you have been
exposed to the risk of leptospirosis, then advise your doctor – a simple blood test
can quickly confirm either way.
 The greatest risk is to those working near water, who should consider carrying a
card or tag warning of risk from the disease.
 Remember that if you fall into infected water, you run the risk of contamination via
water getting into your nose, ears, mouth, etc. If in doubt get it checked
11.8 Pest Control
General Procedures
 Pest control measures to all temporary facilities will be provided.
 Only DM approved pest control contractor shall be used.
 Pest control frequency shall be monthly or when necessary.
 General cleaning and good housekeeping shall always be maintained
 Operation of Spraying Equipment and handling of pesticides shall only be done by
trained personnel. A contractor authorised by that Emirates municipality, in pest
control, will be nominated to come and spray the cabins at a regular interval.
 Protectiveclothingshall be providedwhichwill includecoverall, rubbergloves,full-
face mask respirator.

16. LOGO’s
Page 16 of 19
 Spraying will only take place in the evening or on Friday when there is limited
movement of personnel, on no account should spraying be done when there is a
large concentration of personnel around in the office area.
 Material Safety Data Sheets are to be held by the Contractor, and submitted to
“Company Name” Construction for approval.
Flies:
The House Fly
Breeds in food and vegetable waste.
The Blow Fly
Associated with meat, and given the opportunity, will infest it and deposit clusters of
eggs that will eventually hatch into maggots.
Flies – General:
Both typesof fliesfeedonwaste andrefuse and cancarry pathogenicorganisms,which
they deposit onto food from their feet, or by vomiting onto the food.
Control Measures
 Mesh screens on windows and ventilators
 Protect doorways with Mesh screens or sliding plastic strip curtains.
 UV electric grid Insect eliminator (making sure they are regularly cleaned)
 All food to be kept covered, wrapped or in tight lid containers
 Waste food should be stored in dedicated containers until removed for disposal
 Care must be taken in the use of aerosol insecticide sprays to unsure the fallout
from these sprays is not allowed to contaminate the food directly or indirectly.
Rodents:
The tell-tale signs of infestations by rodents are droppings and dirty smears on walls
and other surfaces caused by constant rubbing of their greasy coats. Another sign is
the physical damage caused by gnawing food products, woodwork and plastic
surfaces.
All rodents need food, water, warmth and a nesting space to survive, control of rodents
requires measures to deny them these requirements.
 Store all food in a metal or plastic containers with tightly fitting lids
 Clean up at the end of each shift or working day and ensure no food debris is left
lying about.
 Make premises rodent proof by sealing off possible entrances, e.g. pipe and cable
penetrations.
 Fit doubler plates to the lower parts of doors to prevent gnawing.
 Ensure the integrity of the drainage systems.
 Unsure foodcontainersareplacedina raisedpositionon shelves or palletstomake
nesting difficult and easily detectable.
 Remove all food waste from areas that food preparation and cooking has been
done in and store in waste containers with tightly fitting lids until removed for
disposal.

17. LOGO’s
Page 17 of 19
If the presence of rodents is detected, every effort should be made to eradicate them
by either setting traps or laying down poisons. Traps are very successful for mice and
this method is usually the only suitable one for their destruction. The lying down of
poisons should be left to a specialist pest control contractor who should be brought in
immediately if a significant infestation is found.
Cockroaches:
These area serious pest to foodpremises andbreed,prolificallyif givenwarmth,hiding
places and a food supply. They prefer decaying organic matter, but being scavengers,
will eat anything. Sweets are attractive to them. They also will feed on starchy items
like book bindings, and the back of wall paper. They consume a considerable quantity
of food and may contaminate it with bacteria or taint it with a foul smell. Females
produce many egg capsules, having 14-16 eggs hatching in 50-55 days. Methods of
control are similar to those used for rodents.
 Eliminate all hiding places; e.g. fill in cracks and apertures around pipes and
equipment.
 Clean up after each shift or working day and ensure no food debris is left lying
 Store food in containers with tightly fitting lids
 An approved pest control contractor will be employed for regular spraying of the
site offices.
11.9 Control of Contagious diseases. (Viral, conjunctivitis etc.)
A communicable disease is an illness that can be contracted through contact with a
human, their discharges, or contaminated items carrying an infectious agent. An
infectious agent is a disease causing organism, such as a bacteria, virus or parasite.
Once a person has contracted a communicable disease they can then pass it on to
others.
“Company Name” has encouraged all employees to report any illness to first aid clinic
or, related supervisor. Based on professional (physician) opinion quarantine shall be
administered at camp as or if required.
Resume duty after conforming by medical representative for ‘fit to work’
11.10 Mental Stress
“Company Name” maintains a counselling centre at welfare accommodation for
operatives those who have complains in relation to mental stress.
Where appropriate the counsellor shall refer or recommend the operative for medical
consultation.
11.11 Carcinogen (Identify if any, or declare that non-shall be used for
construction).
“Company Name” follows regulatory requirement, where use, application, and
involvement of carcinogenic materials will not be adopted in construction &
maintenance activities on any of “Company Name” Projects.

18. LOGO’s
Page 18 of 19
11.12 Heat Stress management
Heat stress is one of the most important occupational Health & Safety problems at a
work place during summer. Heat stress is dependent on environmental conditions and
the physical activities being undertaken by the person.
The following measures shall be taken:
 MOH requirements will be adhered
 Assess the demands of all jobs and have monitoring and control strategies in place
for hot days.
 Worker under direct sunlight will be avoided in-between 12.30PM to 03.00PM
during the summer days (15th June to 15th September) as per ministerial Decision
no. (493) of 2016.
 If the workmen are directly exposed to the sun, so on those areas the activities
should be schedule for the cooler times of the day.
 TWL (Threshold work limit) will be measured as per HAAD requirements and
Rehydration scheduled and work-rest schedule will be followed as per table given
below.
 First Aidresponders and an emergencycalloutprotocol will beinplacein the event
of a heat-related illness.
 Cautionary boards will be displayed to warn the people about the heat stress.
 Investigate any heat-related incidents.
The workers will be encouraged and trained to follow the following points:

19. LOGO’s
Page 19 of 19
 Come to work well hydrated and drink at least 1 liter of water before work each
day;
 Self-assess hydration using colored urine charts;
 Carry a large water container with them of at least 2 liters to drink within 2-3
hours;
 Ensure replacementof electrolytesbyhaving correctelectrolytedrinks (electrolyte
drinks will be provided by “Company Name”).
 Drink water with meals;
 Limit consumption of soft drinks as the sugar content is high;
 Limit consumption of caffeinated drinks (coffee, tea, cola) and ‘energy drinks’, as
the caffeine may reduce fluid retention.
 If workers are sweating heavily between meals an electrolyte replacement drink is
recommended. Replacing salt as it is lost helps the body absorb and retain the
water consumed:
11.13 Quarantine
“Company Name” has encouraged all employees to report any illness to first aid clinic
or, related supervisor. Based on professional (physician) opinion quarantine shall be
administered at camp as or if required.
11.14 Awareness Measures
