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.
