Answers on ISO 45001, UAE compliance and how the Site Safety UAE platform works.
What is ISO 45001 and does Site Safety UAE help achieve it?+
ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. Site Safety UAE maps every feature — PTW, inspections, incident reporting, MSRA/RAMS, subcontractor compliance, training records and CAPA — to the relevant ISO 45001 clauses, so your daily workflow generates the documented evidence auditors expect.
Which ISO 45001 clauses does the platform cover?+
The platform addresses hazard identification and risk assessment (6.1.2), legal compliance (6.1.3), competence and awareness (7.2 / 7.3), operational planning and control (8.1), outsourcing (8.1.4), emergency preparedness (8.3), monitoring and measurement (9.1.1), internal audit (9.2), management review (9.3), incident investigation (10.2) and corrective action (10.1). The full mapping is shown on the ISO 45001 requirements matrix page.
Can the platform be used as evidence for an ISO 45001 certification audit?+
Yes. The evidence vault, inspection register, signed approvals, training records and KPI dashboards produce the documented information and audit trail ISO 45001 auditors typically ask for. The platform itself is not a certifying body — certification must be granted by an accredited third-party auditor.
Which UAE authorities does Site Safety UAE align with?+
The platform is built around UAE federal and emirate-level requirements including MOHRE, Civil Defence, ADOSH-SF (formerly OSHAD), Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, RTA, ADAFSA, Tasneef and the labour rules in each northern emirate. We also include core GCC regulators for Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.
What is ADOSH-SF (formerly OSHAD) and how does the platform support it?+
ADOSH-SF is the Abu Dhabi Occupational Safety and Health System Framework, published by the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center. Site Safety UAE includes ADOSH-SF-aligned permit templates, inspection checklists, incident notification fields, risk assessment structures and training registers so Abu Dhabi contractors can meet the framework's expectations.
Does the platform meet Dubai Municipality and Trakhees requirements?+
Yes. Inspection checklists, method-statement templates, working-at-height permits, site electrical checks and construction-safety registers are structured around the Dubai Municipality Code of Construction Safety Practice and Trakhees EHS rules, with references visible on each checklist item.
How does the HSE Operations dashboard work?+
The dashboard brings permits, inspections, incidents, action items, compliance reminders, KPI tiles and evidence into one place. Teams can filter by date range, drill into inspection records, export CSV/Excel reports and link findings directly to the CAPA register.
What is a Permit to Work (PTW) and how is it managed?+
A Permit to Work is a formal authorization for high-risk activities such as hot work, confined space entry, work at height or electrical isolation. Site Safety UAE digitizes the issue, review, approval, extension and closure steps, captures digital signatures with SHA-256 fingerprints, and sends WhatsApp alerts for high-risk permits.
How does incident reporting work on the platform?+
Workers or supervisors can report incidents, near misses and observations via the web or a Progressive Web App on their phone. The tool supports offline drafts, photo uploads, AI-suggested safety categories, geolocation, witness details and automatic escalation to the CAPA register when a corrective action is required.
Can subcontractors and main contractors share the same workspace?+
Yes. Site Safety UAE is multi-site and multi-organisation. Main contractors can invite subcontractors into a project with role-based access, so each party sees only what it should while the project keeps a single shared audit trail.
Can we export data for client, authority or audit submissions?+
Yes. You can export inspection summaries, CAPA registers, incident reports, training records and full management-review packs in CSV, Excel or branded PDF formats. Signed approval packages include SHA-256 fingerprints for tamper-evident records.
Is the platform bilingual for UAE workforces?+
Yes. The interface is fully bilingual in English and Arabic, with right-to-left layout support. Public tools, guides and worker-facing content also include Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog and Malayalam (AI-assisted, with English fallback where coverage is partial).
