4/12/24, 1:01 PM DGHR launches the 'Guide of Health, Occupational Safety and Environment in Government of Dubai’

Six occupational and environmental health and safety management chapters

The guide comprises six chapters, including the general framework of the Health,
Occupational Safety and Environment Manual, Occupational Health and Safety

Management, Risk Management, Job Well-being, Office Work Environment and Models. It

emphasises the significance of the commitment of senior management as well as
fostering a supportive culture that enhances trust among employees and offers

opportunities for professional development in the effective management of occupational
health, safety, and environment.

Seven pillars of effective implementation

The manual includes seven main pillars – including legislative and regulatory compliance,
the provision of system-related resources, establishment of an occupational and

environmental health and safety culture, awareness-raising and training, stakeholder

engagement, accountability, and transparency. These seven pillars will contribute to its
effective and efficient application. Furthermore, the manual outlines the roles and

responsibilities of several stakeholders involved, including the Department of Human
Resources, the relevant organisational unit, and the employee.

The launch of ‘Guide of Health, Occupational Safety, and Environment in Government of

Dubai’ serves as a testament to DGHR’s commitment to solidifying occupational health
and safety standards as well as reflects its ongoing efforts to achieve Dubai’s vision of

becoming a leading city that prioritises happiness, productivity, and sustainability.

Furthermore, it represents a significant step towards achieving this vision and contributing

to building a safe and secure society that supports inclusive growth. By launching this
manual, Dubai seeks to establish itself as a role model in fostering an ideal workplace and

protecting the environment for future generations.
