UAE: Govt. issue directive for workplace injury mandatory reporting

"UAE sets mandatory procedure for reporting workplace injuries in private sector," 3 Jan 2023

... The resolution outlines the process for recording workplace accidents and illnesses in a database, allowing for the settlement of associated problems and identification of risks, with the goal of strengthening the occupational health and safety system in the private sector. Improving the psychological stability of employees in the businesses and ensuring a safe working environment free from occupational dangers helps to increase productivity and efficiency, MoHRE said.

The ministry offers a number of ways to report any occupational ailment or accident, including via the call center number (600) 590-000, visiting service centers, or through the ministry’s smart applications...

This procedure is under the purview of the employer, who is obliged to input information about the company, the injured employee, the date and severity of the injury, a brief account of the accident’s circumstances, and first aid and treatment protocols. The report is automatically included in the national system for work injuries.
