His Excellency Sheikh Khalid bin Saqr Al Qasimi also referred to Executive Council Resolution No. (15) of 2021 regarding the Sharjah Occupational Safety and Health System, which aims to set minimum safety requirements for different activities in the emirate, by classifying all government agencies and private establishments according to the degree of risk, as employers must apply safety requirements related to the level of classification of their facilities.
His Excellency Sheikh Saif bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Director of SPSA, stated that the authority has issued many professional guidelines to guide employers about the dangers associated with different professional activities, and ways to manage and control risks to achieve the highest levels of safety.
It is worth noting that SPSA is currently developing a comprehensive electronic system to facilitate the employer registration and establishment classification, which ensures the full compliance with the requirements of the Sharjah Occupational Safety and Health System. Such electronic system also serves other segments of the society whereas individuals can report unsafe cases and practices that endanger people's lives, then SPSA communicates those reports to the competent authorities to deal with the causes of danger.
SPSA continues to implement the current projects represented by the early response system for fire alarms (Aman) and the Salama Preventive Training, whereas during 2021, more than 2700 new facilities were registered in the Aman system, which enhances the ability for early intervention in fire and reduces emergency response time, training more than 3200 trainees at the Salama Preventive Training to contribute to improving safety culture and dealing with emergencies.
For an optimal experience, please
