HSE

Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) has launched the ‘Guide
of Health, Occupational Safety and the Environment in the Government of Dubai’, in
line with its commitment to establishing a safe and healthy work environment,
which considers factors such as environmental sustainability, employee
satisfaction, and functional well-being

The guide was prepared with the objective of creating a uni ied reference for the health,
occupational safety and environment of all Dubai Government employees,
cultivating a culture for effectively managing such risks. Additionally, it aims to encourage
departments to establish a safe and healthy working environment that complies with the
pertinent legislation, regulation and standards to guarantee that relevant risks are ready
to be addressed or reduced. It will ensure the development of relevant key performance
indicators (KPIs), which will be used to assess the impact of implementing health,
occupational safety, and environmental policies, carrying out initiatives and programmes,
enhancing institutional capacity building, as well as introducing a culture of health,
occupational safety, and environmental risk management in the Department.

DGHR is responsible for implementing this manual and providing the resources required
for achieving the objectives of the various programmes and initiatives.
