Soft Landscaping ROW Area Risk Assessment

This document provides a risk assessment for soft landscaping work on a project in Marsa Al Seef. It identifies hazards such as working with hand tools and equipment like shovels, pick axes, rakes, excavators and ladders. The risk matrix scores health, safety and environmental risks from 1-25 based on probability and severity. It lists controls like inductions and clear access/egress. Site supervisors must verify and approve the assessment before work begins.
