Why Construction Sites in Dubai Need an AED on Site
Construction sites in the UAE summer combine multiple cardiac risk factors: extreme heat (45°C+), heavy physical labour, often older migrant workers with undiagnosed cardiac conditions, and ambulance access times that can exceed 20 minutes on large compound sites. Sudden cardiac events on site without an AED are almost universally fatal.
Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) and the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE) have both increased focus on construction worker health and safety. AEDs are now recommended by DCD as part of construction site emergency equipment, alongside heat-stress mitigation and first-aid posts.
