Risk Assessment For .Testing and Commissioning of Fire Damper

This risk assessment document evaluates the risks associated with testing and commissioning fire dampers at a project in Lusail, Qatar. Potential hazards identified include unsafe work areas, restricted access and egress, other work activities interfering, inadequate lighting or ventilation, improper storage of materials, and tripping/falling hazards. Control measures specified to reduce risks involve proper planning, coordination, inspections, training, use of PPE, and following safety procedures. The residual risk ratings for preparation activities and use of tools/equipment were reduced to low or medium with these controls in place.
