In order to preserve the health and safety of workers in the building and construction sector in the city of Abu Dhabi, the Municipality of Abu Dhabi City, through the Town Planning Sector – Department of Environment, Health and Safety, organized a field inspection campaign on the construction sites on Abu Dhabi Island, which lasted for 5 consecutive days. With the aim of educating workers and owners of companies operating in the sector regarding the safety requirements that must be followed while working in the heat during the summer period.
During the campaign, municipal inspectors worked to educate workers in the construction and construction sector regarding the need to abide by the noon work ban issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, and the need to provide cold drinking water, healthy and suitable irrigation methods and materials with salts, as well as the need to provide first aid at work sites, industrial cooling means, umbrellas from direct sunlight, and provide a shaded place for workers to rest during their noon work stoppage; This is commensurate with the number of workers on site and the recommended health and safety conditions.
The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City urges building and construction companies and their workers to provide all means of prevention and first aid at the sites to maintain the health and safety of their workers, in addition to adhering to the working hours specified by the concerned authorities at noon during the summer period, in order to preserve the safety of all workers on construction sites.
