The UAE Cabinet has approved a federal law on work injuries and occupational diseases. The new law defines work hazards for employees in the private sector, the mechanism for reporting and investigating them; and determining the appropriate compensation.
The law guarantees the rights of workers in the private sector by specifying work-related injuries and diseases and the compensation they are entitled to.
This came as His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, chaired the last Cabinet meeting at Expo 2020 Dubai.
