Worker involvement
Areas to cover: worker consultation; vulnerable workers (in some detail); health and safety representatives;
According to latest official figures 6, 1.7 million workers, or 34% of the total workforce, are employed in the
UAE’s construction industry, making it the largest sector in the country. Low-wage construction laborers
continue to be among the most vulnerable groups (along with domestic workers), given high risks of human
rights abuses inherent in the construction industry’s business model. According to recent research from Gulf
Labour Markets and Migration, over 50% of construction laborer’s that were surveyed in Dubai didn’t
receive their wages on time and were also denied adequate overtime payments. Migrant workers make up
about 90% of UAE’s labour force. In spite of 2017’s labour reforms, migrant workers in Dubai remain tied to
the kafala (sponsorship) system. Workers are still being denied collective bargaining rights that leaves them
vulnerable to exploitation and abuse by employers. Not having a national minimum wage leaves, low payed
workers still struggling to maintain an adequate standard of living and to send money to support their families
back to their home countries. Research by the Resource Centre in 2016 and 2018 found alarming evidence of
failure by the majority of construction companies operating in the UAE to take care of their workers’ welfare

14
DNI Outline plan – November 2019

and to consider mitigating specific risks, such as, heat stress and late payment.
Regardless of the research findings, at Dutco Company we strive to give our workers good welfare provisions
that include clean drinking-water, washing, sanitary, changing accommodation, rest-rooms and shelter,
facilities for preparing, heating and eating meals, temporary housing, free transportation to and from the
workplace, help our workers to be efficient at work and produce better results. We provide our workers with a
free return ticket to their countries of origin on a yearly basis. We offer free English lessons to the non-native
English speakers for easier and effective communication amongst our workforce. We are a multi-cultured
Organization that hires people of different nationalities indiscriminately. Our prime focus still remains to
improve our workers health and welfare, while providing physiological counselling and support to those in
distress.

Above is a diagram indicating workers flow chart at Dutco LLC, Dubai, UAE

At Dutco LLC Dubai, we value all our workers and urge them to follow all our health and safety procedures.
We do so by:
a. Workers are encouraged and have means to communicate openly with management and to report
safety and health concerns without fear of retaliation.
b. Any potential barriers or obstacles to worker participation in the program (for example, language, lack
of information, or disincentives) are removed or addressed.
c. Procedures are put in place to continually identify workplace hazards and evaluate risks. Safety and
health hazards from routine, non-routine, and emergency situations are identified and assessed.
d. An initial assessment of existing hazards, exposures, and control measures is followed by periodic
inspections and reassessments to identify new hazards.

Our competent person has proven effective because he has been Dutco to comply with health and
safety law and taking all reasonable steps tour workers from harm. He managed to recognise the
health and safety risks associated with our organisation and identify sensible and proportionate
solutions. He has managed to inspect and audit or safety and health practices and has come up with
good amendments.
We appointed our competence person through giving them examination to check their theoretical
knowledge and through doing practical to check their experience. At Dutco LLC, we have allowed
our competence person to act independently and impartially and must report all hazards to the
supervisors.

COMPETANT PERSON RESPONSIBILITIES AT DUTCO LLC


 identifying root causes or problematic issues in different scenarios at the workplace
 identifying and gathering sufficient and relevant information to determine the cause of system
failures
 appreciating the limits of personal knowledge and seeking further guidance and help to resolve
different problems

26
DNI Outline plan – November 2019

 applying relevant aspects of the core knowledge to formulate a practicable solution — taking
into account both legislative requirements and the available resources of the organization
 implementing solutions, most often through a third party (e.g through a supervisor or manager)
 Carefully monitoring the operations of an organization in a bid to foresee possible future
problems and issues that may arise and take preventative measures at hand.

At Dutco, our managers and supervisors allocate task based on the team’s and organization’s goals.
Management evaluate the workers skills and allocate them tasks according to their capabilities.
Management will check on availability of the worker needed to allocated work and his competence towards
the task to be completed. It has proven effective for management to establish a clear set of objectives for
each task allocated to workers, because they will have a great understating of the task being allocated to
them, hence bringing good results. After allocating task, management collects feedback and may offer
coaching where needed. This helps a lot when taking workers’ performances to the next level. Below is a
diagram indicating how management allocate task to workers.

The Civil Transactions Code (Federal Law 1/1985, as amended is the primary legislation that regulates the
construction industry in the U.A.E, it covers general contract principles as well as a section on construction.

The Dubai Government consists of numerous regulating standards, codes of practice, federal, guidelines and
circulars issued by the Dubai municipality and the free zones the likes of Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA)) and
TECOM relating to building standards in their relevant jurisdictions. Building standards, environmental
standards, health and safety guidelines and other technical conditions all form part of the regulating
standards prescribed. The adoption of building regulations and standards provides a detailed technical
discourse about how to build in Dubai municipality-governed areas, referenced in the Administration
resolution 125/2007. Similar standards are used in free zones such as JAFZA and TECOM areas. The Federal
Law 8/1980, as amended sets the main provisions on health and safety and other employment-related
matters, in addition to numerous regulations, codes of practice and specific technical guidelines. The local
municipalities of each emirate, along with the Civil Defence Department, regulate the construction sector in
the United Arab Emirates. The Dubai municipality and the Dubai Civil Defence Department are the regulating
authorities in the Construction industry in Dubai, while in free zone areas construction is regulated by
Trakhees (the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation) along with the other relevant authorities as
mentioned previously.
Below are some of the legislation adopted in the research.

I. Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

II. Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998

Types of Risk Assessments we use at Dutco LLC

Site-Specific Risk Assessment A Specific site risk assessment done on hazards


that might only apply to that specific situation, on
that particular day. Used to look for common
hazards and address the unusual.
Qualitative Risk Assessment This is the most common form of risk assessment
used mainly in workplaces. The assessor often
using their own experience and judgemental
skills , but would also consult with others in
carrying out the activity with best practice
guidance to reach their decisions.
Quantitative Risk Assessment Used to measure risk by assigning a numerical
value. This type of risk assessment will most likely
be used with major hazards, like aerodynamics,
chemical and nuclear plants.

31
DNI Outline plan – November 2019

Generic Risk Assessment The main idea of Generic Risk Assessment is to cut
down on any duplication of effort and paperwork
and it cover common hazards for the task or
activity being done.

Risk profile
Areas to cover: Significant risks to organisation; adverse effects and disruption; inclusion of health and safety
risks in business risk management; effective assessment of risk level; whether controls have been effectively
implemented with correct priority; whether risks are managed proportionately and sensibly; inclusion of risk
control for vulnerable workers (be specific); active/reactive monitoring; reviews of assessments; health and
safety practitioner’s role with regards to these topics.

Brief details of the significant risks to your organisation and the adverse effects on health and safety:
We use different types of assessment like:
a. Fire risk assessments: fire safety management procedures are required to be
established in all workplaces including a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment.
b. Manual handling risk assessments: should be conducted in any workplace where an
employee may be at risk from injury and/or ill-health through the need to lift, carry,
and move loads.
c. Display screen equipment (DSE) risk assessments: are required to be completed in
workplaces where employees (and others) are using computers, laptops, etc.
d. COSHH risk assessments: are required within workplaces where hazardous
substances are stored, used or manufactured.
Dutco LLC steps
Risk profiling
Effective leaders and line managers know the risks their organisations face, rank
them in order of importance and take action to control them. The range of risks
goes beyond health and safety risks to include quality, environmental and asset
damage, but issues in one area could impact in another.

34
DNI Outline plan – November 2019

Keep health and safety documents functional and concise, with the emphasis on
their effectiveness rather than sheer volume of paperwork.
Focusing too much on the formal documentation of a health and safety
management system will distract you from addressing the human elements of its
implementation – the focus becomes the process of the system itself rather than
actually controlling risks.

Brief details of how the critical risks have been assessed effectively and how it is done:

Risk management in the construction project management context involves identification,


assessment and prioritization of risks by monitoring, controlling, and applying managerial
resources with a coordinated and economical effort so as to minimize the probability and/or
impact of unfortunate events and so as to maximize the realization of project objectives

We work collectively with our partners in identifying things that could go wrong during a project and score
the risk on a sliding scale to decide how much impact it might have on your project in the event it happens.
Priority is always given to the biggest risks. We then come up with such plans to reduce the risks for a less
likelihood and outline procedures to be followed should the risk arise. We assess our projects for Health and
Safety and search for any risks that may occur.
We have construction apps which supports our approach to risk management. These apps help us to monitor
risk on construction site and helps us take mitigation actions. The biggest advantage of using Apps on risk
management is that it gives more data and a faster method of communication.

Brief details of active and reactive monitoring to assess controls:


We measure health and safety performance through monitoring. The monitory has two categories, active
and reactive monitoring. In active monitoring we ensure that health and safety standards are correct in our
workplace before accidents, incidents or ill-health are caused. On reactive monitoring, we use accidents,
incidents and ill-health as indicators of performance in order to highlight areas of concern.

Below are types of monitoring we use to monitor our health and safety.

Executive summary (checklist)


Tick when
complete

To be written at the end but inserted at the front of the report.

Deliver key information with a persuasive, well-substantiated pitch that avoids jargon and
includes a summary of the conclusions and recommendations.
Establish key issues that need solving and describe the measurable impact on performance
in order to capture and maintain the reader’s attention and thereby prompt a response and
support that is positive. Focus on the three improvements.
Provide a convincing case for solving the key issues by recommending proportionate and
sensible solutions and a corresponding benefit to the reader. This should be written with a
moral, legal, and economic persuasiveness.
An executive summary should provide sufficient information to enable a busy senior
manager to decide whether or not to read the full report and to provide a persuasive case
for implementation of recommendations made.
The executive summary should be no longer than one side of A4 using single-spaced Arial
font (size 11) and 2cm print margins (left, right, top and bottom).
