This risk assessment document evaluates health and safety risks associated with summer work at the Lusail Project location. It identifies working in extreme heat as the primary risk, which could result in heat stroke, heat exhaustion, dehydration, and potentially death. Control measures are outlined to mitigate these risks, including providing shaded rest areas, scheduling work rotations, conducting health screenings, educating workers on heat safety, and complying with work hour restrictions during peak heat times. With these controls in place, the residual risk of working in summer heat is determined to be low.
