4 preventive measures exempting the establishment from compensating the “neglected worker”

The Executive Regulations of Federal Decree-Law No. (33) of 2021, regarding the regulation of labor relations, defines four preventive measures that can be followed, which can exempt the employer from compensating the “neglected” worker who does not adhere to preventive instructions for work injury.

According to the regulation: “The worker is not entitled to compensation for a work injury, if it is proven that the injury occurred as a result of a deliberate violation of the preventive instructions, provided that the employer adheres to four controls or procedures, the first of which is to educate the worker about the instructions regarding the means of preventing fire and protecting workers from the dangers they may be exposed to while performing their work, The second is to inform the worker before practicing the dangers of his profession, and obligate him to use the prescribed means of prevention, and he must provide appropriate personal protective equipment for workers, and train them to use them.”

The list of the four preventive measures also included “training the worker on the safety methods mentioned in the labor protection instructions, teaching the worker when using the risks of his profession and the means of prevention he must take, and he must post detailed written instructions in this regard in the workplace.”
