4/15/24, 9:11 AM DGHR Launches Health and Safety Guide
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.
