As part of its participation at GITEX Global 2025, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) unveiled its latest digital initiative, the Smart Safety Tracker, designed to enhance monitoring and enforcement of occupational health and safety standards in workplaces.
The project demonstrates the Ministry’s commitment to generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) solutions, aiming to modernise field inspection tools and advance intelligent regulatory oversight.
Her Excellency Shayma Yousef Alawadhi, Acting Undersecretary of Labour Market Development & Regulation and Assistant Undersecretary for Communications & International Relations at MoHRE, said, “The project embodies the Ministry’s drive to adopt cutting-edge AI technologies that enhance on-field supervision and streamline the monitoring and enforcement of occupational health and safety standards, in line with the UAE Government’s ambitious vision to lead in public service excellence and innovation through digital transformation and artificial intelligence.”
She added, “The project supports MoHRE’s strategic priorities of promoting worker wellbeing and happiness by fostering safe and healthy work environments, and reflects the Ministry’s broader goal of building a sustainable and human-centred labour market, where safety and well-being remain top priorities. This initiative marks an important step towards making workplaces across the UAE safer and more sustainable.”
AI usage
The Smart Safety Tracker uses GenAI and advanced computer vision technologies to automatically analyse field images and data, identifying violations and potential risks such as missing protective equipment, unsafe work practices, or hazardous material accumulation.
Deep Learning algorithms trained on thousands of real-world scenarios allow the system to detect unsafe patterns in real time, while GenAI generates intelligent reports detailing the type, location, severity, and recommended corrective actions for each violation.
This approach reduces the effort required from field inspectors, elevating inspection efficiency and enabling data-driven decisions that focus on analysis rather than routine tasks.
