General Safety Training
KHDA and ACTVET approved HSE training UAE. Fire safety, confined space, work at height, permit to work, H2S and LOTO. On site or at our centres.
KHDA and ACTVET approved HSE and general safety training in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the UAE — fire safety, confined space, work at height, permit to work, H2S, LOTO and risk assessment, delivered at your site or at our training centres.
ITMAD delivers HSE training across the full range of workplace hazards — fire, confined space, height, electrical, chemical and behavioural. Courses are built around participation and discussion rather than presentation, because a delegate who has worked through a scenario retains it and one who has watched a slide deck does not.
Approvals and delivery
ITMAD is an approved training provider with KHDA in Dubai and ACTVET in Abu Dhabi. Certificates are issued under these approvals. Courses are delivered at your site anywhere in the UAE, or at our facilities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and can be scheduled around shift patterns and shutdowns.
Fire and emergency response
- Fire Safety and Fire Fighting TechniquesFire behaviour, extinguisher selection and practical use, raising the alarm, and when not to fight a fire.
- Fire WardenSweep procedures, assembly point control, roll call, assisting mobility-impaired occupants, and liaison with Civil Defence.
- Evacuation ProceduresRoutes, muster discipline, and the common failures that turn an orderly evacuation into a crowd.
- Emergency Response and PlanningScenario planning, response team roles, communication chains, and drills that test the plan rather than confirm it.
Permit to work and risk control
- HSE InductionSite-specific orientation for new workers and contractors.
- Work Permit SystemPermit types, issue and closure, isolation certificates, and the authority and accountability of each signatory.
- Hierarchy of Control MeasuresElimination through to PPE, and why PPE as a first response indicates a failed assessment.
- Risk AssessmentHazard identification, likelihood and severity, residual risk, and producing assessments that are used rather than filed.
- Job Safety AnalysisBreaking a task into steps, identifying the hazard in each, and building controls into the method.
- Behaviour Based SafetyObservation and feedback technique, identifying at-risk behaviour without blame, and the reporting culture that makes near-miss data reliable.
High-risk activities
- Work at HeightHierarchy of fall protection, harness and lanyard selection, anchor points, fall clearance calculation, and rescue planning.
- Confined Space EntryIdentification, atmospheric testing and monitoring, ventilation, entry control, standby duties and rescue arrangements.
- Hot WorkPermit control, fire watch duties, gas testing, spark containment and post-work monitoring.
- Demolition SafetyStructural sequencing, pre-demolition survey, services isolation, dust and debris control.
- Masonry and FormworkFormwork loading and stability, striking sequences, and hazards during concrete placement.
- Mechanical Operations and ErectionSafe erection sequences, temporary stability, and control of the work area.
Electrical and energy isolation
- Electrical SafetyShock and arc flash hazards, approach boundaries, test-before-touch discipline, and safe systems of work.
- Lockout and Tagout (LOTO)Energy source identification including stored energy, isolation devices, group lockout, personal locks, and verification of zero energy before work begins.
Chemical, hazardous goods and environment
- Chemical SafetySafety data sheets, GHS classification and labelling, incompatible storage, exposure routes and spill response.
- Hazardous Goods SafetyClassification, segregation, handling, storage and transport documentation.
- H2S AwarenessProperties and physiological effects of hydrogen sulphide, detection and alarm response, escape sets and breathing apparatus, wind direction discipline and casualty rescue.
- Environmental SafetyWaste segregation and disposal, spill prevention and containment, emissions awareness and permit conditions.
Occupational health and workplace conditions
- Heat StressRecognition of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, hydration and work-rest scheduling, acclimatisation, and the UAE midday break requirements.
- Manual HandlingAssessment of the load and the task, correct technique, team lifting, and use of mechanical aids.
- ErgonomicsWorkstation and task design, repetitive strain, posture and early symptom recognition.
- Personal Protective EquipmentSelection for the hazard, fit testing, inspection, correct use, storage and replacement criteria.
- General Office Hygiene and SafetyHousekeeping, slips and trips, electrical equipment, display screen use and emergency arrangements.
- Defensive DrivingHazard perception, safe following distances, fatigue and distraction, adverse conditions, and journey management for site and desert driving.
Equipment-specific training
Training on the safe use of specific plant and equipment — cranes, forklifts, man lifts, earth moving machinery, rigging, scaffolding, welding and power tools — is delivered under our equipment safety training programme, where practical assessment is carried out on the machines themselves.
Bespoke and site-specific courses
Where your operation, client HSE specification or permit system differs from a standard syllabus, courses are built to match: your procedures, your permit forms, your hazards and your equipment. This is routinely required where a major operator sets training content by contract.
What delegates receive
- Certificate issued under ITMAD's KHDA and ACTVET approvals
- Record of assessment where the course includes one
- Training records supplied to the employer for the HSE management system
- Renewal reminders ahead of expiry
Training that reflects what we find
ITMAD audits HSE compliance and inspects equipment as an accredited body. The failures these courses concentrate on are the ones our auditors and inspectors actually record — permits closed without isolation verified, harnesses worn without an anchor point, confined space standby personnel who could not have effected a rescue. The training is built from findings rather than from a generic syllabus.
ITMAD Academy — self-paced online courses
Where classroom scheduling does not suit, ITMAD Academy delivers self-paced online courses across management system and accreditation standards, Exemplar Global recognised, with certificates issued on completion and online verification.
