Aligned with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Dubai Government
Human Resources Department (DGHR) launched the “Guide of Health, Occupational
Safety and the Environment in the Government of Dubai”.

The launch of this guide echoes the department’s commitment to establishing a safe
and healthy work environment, which considers factors such as environmental
sustainability, employee satisfaction, and functional well-being. These factors have a
positive influence on employees’ performance and society at large and contribute to
achieving institutional goals.

The department created the guide under ‘The Government of Dubai Human Resources
Management Law No. 8 of 2018’ and in accordance with the Military Human Resources
Legislation in the Emirate of Dubai. It was prepared to cultivate a culture of effectively
managing risks to occupational health, safety, and the environment.
