Sharjah Police have escalated safety protocols for outdoor work environments as unpredictable weather patterns continue across the United Arab Emirates. The law enforcement agency disseminated an official advisory through social media platform X, mandating enhanced protective measures for personnel exposed to hazardous conditions.
The comprehensive safety directive emphasizes strict compliance with occupational health regulations during both operational hours and worker transportation. Employers face increased scrutiny to implement preventive strategies that mitigate weather-related accidents and safeguard labor welfare. The advisory specifically targets construction sites and external work zones where environmental exposure presents elevated risks.
Concurrently, Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has enacted parallel precautions for educational institutions. Private schools received instructions to prioritize staff safety through flexible work arrangements and suspend all outdoor programming. The education authority specifically addressed institutions conducting holiday sessions, prohibiting off-campus activities until weather conditions stabilize.
These coordinated responses follow the UAE’s most intense rainfall period, which recorded precipitation peaks of 127mm in Ras Al Khaimah. Emergency services continue remediation efforts across affected regions, particularly addressing transportation disruptions caused by flash flooding. The national weather instability has prompted multi-jurisdictional coordination between police, educational authorities, and civil defense units to maintain public safety standards during meteorological uncertainties.
