Document background
The Garage Risk Assessment Form is a critical operational document required under UAE federal and local regulations for automotive repair and maintenance facilities. This document serves as both a compliance tool and a practical guide for identifying, assessing, and controlling workplace hazards specific to garage operations. It must be completed initially before commencing operations, reviewed periodically (typically annually), and updated whenever significant changes occur in operations or equipment. The form addresses various risk categories including mechanical, electrical, chemical, and ergonomic hazards commonly found in garage environments, while ensuring alignment with UAE Labor Law, municipality regulations, and Civil Defense requirements. It forms an essential part of a facility's overall safety management system and is often required for licensing, insurance, and regulatory inspections.
