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.
