1. Introduction
(a) This Code of Practice (CoP) applies to all employers within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
This CoP is designed to incorporate requirements set by APDHC and Sector Regulatory
Authorities in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
(b) This CoP establishes the minimum requirements and standards for the development
and implementation of an OSH Construction Management Plan (OSH-CMP). The
development and implementation of an OSH-CMP helps to ensure that construction
projects consider all OSH hazards and aspects, in accordance with the requirements of
all applicable legislation within the emirate of Abu Dhabi, in particular those outlined
in the
ADOSH-SF.
(c) The OSH-CMP is a site-specific plan developed to ensure that appropriate OSH
management practices are developed, implemented and monitored during the
construction phase of a project.
(d) Principal Contractor (PC) when used in this CoP refers to the main contractor
overseeing and responsible for activities undertaken on the site within the Building
and Construction Sector. Refer to
ADOSH-SF – Mechanism 9.0 – Notification of Principal
Contractor for Construction Work.
1.1 Objectives
(a) Based on the risk or complexity of the project, the Building and Construction SRA shall
decide what level of detail is required in the OSH-CMP for the project. The client will
be informed of the submission requirements at the time of applying for the building
permit.
(b) The objectives of the OSH ‘Construction Management’ plan are as follows:
(i) implement practical effect the commitment to OSH and set the initial framework
for the Safety and Health Management System;
(ii) ensure maximum flexibility in meeting requirements whilst complying with the
relevant standards of the ADOSH-SF Requirements;
(iii) ensure a systematic approach to management of Safety and Health;
(iv) manage risk associated with the construction activities;
(v) establish training programs for all staff and operatives appropriate to task, role
and the project requirements;
(vi) provide a structure to ensure that Safety and Health issues are effectively
managed in a consistent and integrated manner;
(vii) ensure appropriate control and co-ordination of all parties to the construction
phase of the project with regard to Safety and Health;
(viii) generate a culture where everyone, irrespective of their position, understands
that they have a part to play in ensuring that incidents and ill health are
prevented; and
(ix) ensure a safe workplace for all those who work on the project.

1.2 Submission and Approval
(a) The client will be informed, at the time of applying for a building permit with the
relevant municipality, the level of OSH-CMP that is required for the project.
(b) The level of the plan required will be based upon the risk and complexity of the project.
(c) The client will be informed at the time of application, the submission requirements
and relevant timescales for review and approval.
1.3 OSH-CMP Content
(a) The content of an OSH-CMP shall vary by project, as the size and scope of a
construction project varies. The table under Section 3.1 below indicates which
elements are required for all projects (Table Sections 1-4) and which are only required
if the relevant hazard / impact is present through the construction activities (Table
Section 5).
(b) Table Sections 1-4 shall be included in all OSH-CMP’s as they outline the project
specific management systems and control measures that shall be required for every
project. Table Section 5 identifies some of the more common hazards or impacts that
may be present on projects. This list is not intended to be exhaustive, and it is the
responsibility of the PC who is developing or submitting the OSH-CMP to ensure that
all hazards and impacts are identified and appropriate control measures are included
and developed.

2. Training and Competency
(a) Employers shall ensure that OSH training complies with the requirements of:
(i)

Service Provider Registration.
(b) Employers shall ensure employees and other persons required to implement the

supervision or monitoring of the requirements of this CoP are trained and competent
to fully understand the requirements.
(c) The requirements for specific training needs within the project are discussed within
Section 3.1 (Table Section 4.6.)
(d) Employers shall maintain a record of the required training that contains the following
information:
(i) name and ID number;
(ii) Emirates ID number;
(iii) subject(s) of training;
(iv) training provider;
(v) date(s) of training; and
(vi) person(s) providing the training.

3. Requirements
(a) Section 3.1 1 below outlines the minimum requirements that must be included in all
OSH-CMP’s that are developed and submitted to the SRA for approval.
(b) The table provides information on the project specific requirements that shall be

(c) Where an entity has an approved OSH MS under decree 42 of 2009, reference can be
made to their approved OSH MS to avoid duplication within the OSH-CMP.
(d) The table also provides information on the
ADOSH-SF compliance requirements. The
Principal Contractor shall ensure that the plan meets all relevant requirements as
described within the
ADOSH-SF.
(e) It is the responsibility of the Principal Contractor to ensure that all legal requirements,
including local and federal requirements are met when developing the OSH-CMP.
