OSHAD First Aid FAQs

What are OSHAD first aid requirements for Abu Dhabi workplaces?

OSHAD (Abu Dhabi Occupational Safety & Health Center) requires all Abu Dhabi workplaces to conduct a risk assessment and maintain first aid provisions proportionate to their risk level and workforce size. All first aid kits must be clearly marked, accessible, and regularly inspected. Higher risk environments (construction, oil & gas) require advanced first aid stations.

How is OSHAD different from Dubai Municipality for first aid?

Dubai Municipality follows DM-PH&SD-P4-TG 17 (a specific prescriptive standard — 1 kit per 150 employees). OSHAD takes a risk-based approach under the Abu Dhabi OSH System Framework — requirements scale with the hazard level of the workplace. Low-risk offices may need a 25-person kit; high-risk industrial sites may need dedicated first aid rooms and trained medical staff.
