UAE's Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has outlined five essential safety requirements that all workers must follow at job sites, stressing that adherence to protective measures is not simply procedural but a critical necessity to safeguard workers and those around them.

MoHRE stated that workers must wear a helmet, safety vest, protective footwear, safety goggles, and ear protection against noise, according to a report by Gulf News. 

These requirements form part of an integrated occupational health and safety framework aligned with Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 regulating labour relations, its executive regulations, and related ministerial decisions. The law also sets out a full range of preventive measures to be implemented at workplaces and labour accommodations.

MoHRE emphasised that the UAE places strong importance on creating a safe and attractive work environment, supported by proactive legislation governing workplace safety and labour accommodation. “Occupational health and safety is a top priority for the ministry, which strictly enforces the law against any violations,” MoHRE said, highlighting initiatives such as the Wage Protection System, which safeguards workers’ rights and ensures timely salary payments. The ministry added that strengthening health and safety practices enhances the UAE’s global competitiveness, boosts productivity, and supports a stable skilled workforce that drives economic growth.

Key safety rules

The report noted that MoHRE has identified four official channels for reporting occupational safety violations: the call centre (600590000), the MoHRE smart application, the official website, and the ministry’s verified social media platforms.

The Occupational Health and Safety Manual requires employers to provide appropriate protective equipment to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and fire hazards, and to comply with all preventive measures issued by the ministry. Companies must display detailed safety instructions in Arabic and other languages where necessary, in visible areas of the workplace, along with warning signs near hazardous locations.

Employers must also appoint qualified first-aid supervisors, maintain fully equipped first-aid kits, and ensure adequate fire prevention and firefighting tools suitable for their operations. They are required to regularly assess workplace conditions to ensure sufficient protection for workers and take practical steps to reduce or eliminate risks.

The guidelines further highlight precautions against falling objects, sharp tools, high temperatures, flammable materials, compressed gases, and electrical hazards.

Penta Global, a leading player in the energy and construction sectors based in Abu Dhabi, is taking a pioneering stance on the mental health and well-being of blue-collar workers, an area that has long been overlooked in the industry.

Under the stewardship of executive director Sujay Nair, the company has made decisive moves to place people at the heart of its operations, urging the broader sector to move beyond compliance into genuine care for workforce welfare.

Traditionally, the focus within construction has been on health, safety, and environmental compliance, which are essentials for industry accreditation and operational soundness.

However, as Nair notes, there is still a considerable gap when it comes to mental well-being.

Sparked by thought leadership at a British Safety Council event, Nair and his team recognised this imbalance and responded by commissioning a comprehensive report on mental health in the construction sector, particularly concerning blue-collar workers.

The research process was revealing. Penta Global discovered significant data concerning the mental health of workers in the UAE, which were mostly collected via major firms and government-driven initiatives.

Over the past three years, the UAE government has enacted policies specifically focused on mental health, providing a strong foundation, but there remains much to build upon.

To bring attention to their findings and to inspire collaborative industry action, Penta Global hosted a roundtable during ADIPEC this year.

The session brought together stakeholders from leading organisations, government entities, and multinational firms.

Surprisingly, it emerged that while individual companies were implementing well-being programmes, there was little cross-industry communication or centralisation of best practices.

“We haven’t got that communication to have a centralised kind of policy which addresses these issues,” Nair observed, underscoring the need for a coordinated approach.

A collaborative approach

Beyond research and dialogue, Penta Global brought creativity to advocacy through their event booth, which featured a punching bag competition.

For every punch, the company pledged a donation to a local mental health initiative, blending fun physical activity with vital fundraising and awareness.

This approach speaks to the company’s ethos of focusing not only on compliance but also on positive engagement and long-term change.

Physical activity, notes Nair, is well-proven to enhance mental well-being, and this tie-in made the abstract more accessible and actionable.

The challenges are multifaceted. There are deeply rooted stigmas, language barriers, and fears of job security that deter workers from voicing concerns.

Nair stresses the need for education and open conversations, suggesting that integrating mental health into routine “toolbox talks” could be one practical step forward.

“If we can come together as an industry,” Nair asserts, “we can really drive meaningful change. And I think that’s the most important thing that came out [from the roundtable discussion].”

Looking ahead, Penta Global plans to share the outcomes of their roundtable widely and continue engaging with both industry leaders and social enterprises.

The goal is to drive policy toward preventative approaches rather than reactive ones, making mental health a shared responsibility.

By leading these efforts, Penta Global not only enhances its own culture but also sets a precedent for the entire sector to follow.

India’s Ken Institute has outlined a range of measures that could be implemented to protect workers and elevate health and safety standards across Saudi Arabia’s NEOM mega project

In a 4 November article published on the training group’s website, entitled ‘Worker Safety Challenges at Saudi’s Neom Mega Project’, it highlighted several issues and challenges facing the scheme “with investigations revealing hazardous conditions, reported incidents of violence, accidents, and systemic abuses, especially for migrant workers.​“

As well as alleged labour abuses, key concerns also include environmental factors, given the project’s location in the Saudi desert with threats such as heat stress, hydration and dust control.

The institute outlined various mitigation measures, which, when combined as part of a comprehensive occupational health and safety plan, would effectively reduce worker exposure to environmental hazards and enhance overall safety and productivity.

Key recommendations

To prevent future worker deaths at Neom, Ken Institute issued the following recommendations, “combining best practices observed globally and Neom’s commitments”:

Strengthen safety culture and enforcement: Embed a culture of safety as a core value at all levels, ensuring workers feel empowered to report unsafe conditions without fear of retaliation; Enforce strict adherence to international health and safety laws and standards; Conduct frequent audits and inspections by independent third parties to verify compliance and effectiveness of safety protocols.

Anti-discrimination and anti-harassment protections:Implement zero-tolerance policies on harassment and discrimination; Establish clear reporting and redress mechanisms; Train all workers and supervisors on respectful workplace conduct; Improve training and awareness; Provide comprehensive safety training to all workers and supervisors using innovative technologies to enhance hazard recognition and emergency response skills; Promote ongoing education on use of personal protective equipment, machinery operation, and accident prevention techniques.​

Enhance working conditions: Limit work hours to provide mandatory breaks and enforce rest periods; Ensure worker accommodations include properly equipped health clinics and well-being facilities for timely medical care and mental health support; Implement smart safety technologies such as IoT-enabled helmets and proximity alert systems to monitor worker health and prevent accidents.​

Timely and full payment of wages: Employers must pay wages on time and in full, with reliable wage protection systems monitoring compliance to prevent wage theft or delayed payments.

Transparent incident reporting and accountability: Establish a robust whistleblower policy allowing workers and subcontractors to report unsafe practices confidentially; Investigate all accidents, injuries, and near-misses thoroughly, publish transparent reports, and take corrective actions promptly.​

Respect worker mobility and contractual rights: Convert temporary contracts beyond 90 days into full employment contracts, allowing workers to change employers and exit the country without prior employer approval, increasing worker agency and security.​

Regulatory and contractual measures: Ensure all contractors comply with Saudi labour laws and international conventions addressing occupational safety and workers’ rights; Prohibit wage theft, forced labor, and restrictions on job mobility, providing workers with legal protections and support.​

Emergency preparedness and response: Continuously update and rehearse emergency response plans tailored to the unique hazards of the site; Equip emergency teams with advanced communication tools and medical supplies to rapidly respond to accidents or health crises.​

“Implementing these recommendations can greatly reduce risks and fatalities at Neom by fostering a safer, healthier, and more accountable work environment,” Ken Institute noted.

At the KSA HSE Conference in Riyadh on 9^th and 10^th September, 2025, Kharsan Al Salem, HSEQ Consultant and Traffic Diversions Project Director at Riyadh Municipality, delivered a compelling session on the importance of embedding a 'Safety First' culture in organisations in Saudi Arabia. His talk emphasised that safety must move beyond compliance and become an ingrained value guiding every decision and action in the workplace

“Safety First is to place health and safety and well-being of people above costs and speed and convenience,” Al Salem began. “It’s not just compliance — it should be a culture and value for each organisation.” He reminded attendees that this commitment is not optional but essential: “Everyone deserves to go home safe.”

Al Salem explained that safety-first cultures drive measurable benefits: reducing incidents, saving lives, and boosting productivity and morale. “Safety first matters because it reduces workplace incidents and saves lives, builds trust and reputation for the organisation, improves morale—workers feel valued and protected, and increases productivity,” he said.

He outlined three foundational pillars of a sustainable safety-first culture: leadership commitment, team empowerment, and open communication. “If one of these pillars is weak, the culture will not be sustainable,” he cautioned.

Leadership Commitment

According to Al Salem, leaders play a defining role in shaping organisational culture. “Leaders set the tone by their actions and priorities,” he said. “When leaders actively demonstrate commitment—wearing the right personal protective equipment, following procedures, participating in safety meetings—it sends a powerful message.” This visible involvement, he added, “builds trust and accountability. Employees see that safety is taken seriously, and they feel motivated to follow suit.”

Team Empowerment

Empowering employees to take ownership of safety responsibilities was Al Salem’s second pillar. “Team empowerment is about giving employees ownership of their safety responsibility,” he explained. Providing proper training, resources, and fostering collaboration enables teams to prevent incidents before they happen. “Empowered teams are engaged and proactive,” he said, emphasising the importance of open dialogue where everyone feels comfortable raising safety concerns.

Open Communication

The third pillar, open communication, ensures a transparent and blame-free environment. “Organisations must create a safe environment where employees can report incidents or near misses without fear of retaliation,” Al Salem said. Sharing lessons learned and maintaining feedback loops, he added, “helps everyone improve, so safety processes evolve based on real experience.”

Al Salem also highlighted progress within Saudi Arabia. “Safety culture is gaining momentum, supported by government regulation and initiatives focused on workplace safety,” he noted. According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, 66% of establishments now comply with the Occupational Safety and Health system. Additionally, nine ministerial decisions and 41 new regulations have been implemented in the field, contributing to a drop in occupational injuries from 416 to 287 per 100,000 workers and a reduction in fatality rates from 3.8 to 1.12 per 100,000 workers.

Closing his session, Al Salem urged attendees to lead by example and commit to continuous improvement. “Leaders should lead by example every day. Teams must feel empowered to speak up and share their concerns. Together, fostering a culture of continuous improvement will make our workplaces safer and more productive,” he concluded.

Through his address, Al Salem underscored that a true “Safety First” culture is not a slogan—it is a shared value, practised daily, and essential for sustainable organisational success in Saudi Arabia’s evolving industries.
