As a brief background, the Public Health and Safety Department of Dubai Municipality is composed of four (4) sections namely:
1. Public Safety Section - this section is in-charge of all Public areas in Dubai including safety of small appliances, hotels, commercial establishments, playgrounds and swimming pools.
2. Public Health Section - this section is in-charge in monitoring labor accommodations including saloons, barbershops and the like
3. Consumer Products Section - they are in-charge in ensuring that all consumer products such as cosmetics, detergents, etc. passed the regulatory standards
4. Occupational Health and Safety Section - finally, this section is in-charge to monitor and inspect all private and industrial facilities in Dubai - including mechanical workshops, carpentry and furniture shops up to multinational companies such as Dubai Aluminum, Nestle Dubai, Unilever, Dubai Petroleum etc.
Aside from these, the Department also approves permit applications for Occupational Health and Safety Training, Safety and Fire Consultancies and new installations.
So, if you want to be employed as a Health and Safety Officer, it's always good to know the different legal requirements applicable to the country where you work or intend to work.
This is also good for your preparation for the Dubai Expo 2020 - and during the job interview, your prospect employer will be impressed with your knowledge of the Health ans Safety Technical Guidelines of the Emirate of Dubai.
