Workplace safety compliance

Workplace safety is a legal requirement and a moral imperative. At Kayrouz & Associates, we help employers design, implement, and maintain safety protocols that meet regulatory obligations and protect both people and operations.

Practice Overview

A safe working environment is essential to business continuity, employee welfare, and legal compliance. Our lawyers advise companies on UAE labour law safety regulations, occupational hazard mitigation, and industry-specific standards across sectors such as construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics.

We assist in drafting health and safety manuals, conducting legal audits of existing protocols, and advising on employee training programs. Our goal is to ensure not only technical compliance, but also a workplace culture that prioritises safety, reduces liability, and prevents workplace incidents.

Should violations or accidents occur, we provide immediate legal support, liaising with authorities such as the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation. We guide clients through investigations, sanctions, and defence against civil or criminal claims that may arise from non-compliance.

We offer legal advice on a wide spectrum of matters:

  • Health and safety policy development and legal review
  • Training programs and documentation procedures
  • Compliance audits and risk assessments
  • Advice following workplace accidents or inspections
  • Defence in regulatory enforcement or labour claims
  • Industry-specific guidance for high-risk environments
