Health and Safety Summer Campaign

The 2013 Safe and Healthy Summer campaign was launched recently by Dubai Municipality through the Public Health and Safety Department. Now on its 7th year, this program is aimed to increase the awareness level of all affected workers and employers especially those directly exposed to the heat of the sun and to encourage them to implement safety precautions to avoid heat related illnesses such as Heat stress and Heat stroke. Also, the Safe and Healthy Summer campaign supports the Ministerial Order no. 688 of 2013 issued the Ministry of Labour, which mandates the mid-day break rule. This means that no worker is allowed to work under the direct exposure to the sun between 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM from June 15, 2013 to September 15, 2013. Failure to comply with such order may result to issuance of notice of violation or imposition of fines. Employers are required to provide the following at the worksite during summer: cold drinking water or other hydration drinks, provision of shelter or shed for resting, industrial ventilation in resting areas and first aid kit and first aider among other things. For its part, Dubai Municipality, distributes educational materials such as flyers, brochures, and posters related to Safe and Healthy Summer campaign including Fire Safety Awareness to all private companies and industrial premises and other government offices. They also conduct seminars and short sessions to identified stakeholders such as construction companies, Dubai Municipality Departments, Dubai Police, etc. to maximize the coverage of the said awareness campaign.

Safety in Dubai

I am now based in Dubai as an employee of Dubai Government's Department of Public Health and Safety under the Occupational Safety section. I started working last August 1, 2010 as a Safety Specialist and i was fortunate to have an orientation and appreciation training and a chance to visit their different departments.

With the short two weeks orientation program, i also had the chance to evaluate and appreciate their existing programs as far as Occupational Safety and Health is concerned. There are few departments who are already IMS certified, meaning they are already certified with the following standards: Quality Systems (ISO 9001), Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) and Safety Management System (OHSAS 18001). While the other departments have yet to start their own Safety Management Program and/or Safety Management System (SMS) and safety procedures.

It is also part of my job to evaluate their existing safety Technical Guidelines and the government's Safety Manual. Quite tough and challenging job ahead.
