Labour committee intensifies inspection of workers accommodations
In line with the directives of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the Permanent Committee of Labour Affairs has intensified inspection visits to the workers accommodations in Dubai to check their compliance with health and safety regulations.
"Some 17 inspectors from the committee visited 22 labour camps in Al Qouz, Jebel Ali and Al Muhaisna to review living conditions. The committee has increased weekly inspection visits from 8 to 10," said Brigadier Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Director of Dubai Naturalisation & residency Department, who heads the committee.
He emphasised the need that both workers and their employers adhere to the rules relating to the security, safety and cleanliness of the accommodation, in compliance with the orders issued by Sheikh Mohammed to provide decent living standards and human treatment to the workers at the work and living places.
The inspection teams noted minor violations in some accommodations such as the use of gas ovens in the kitchens by the workers and shortage of water coolers.
The workers said they were delighted with their respective companies' efforts to provide comfortable means at their camps. Source
