AED for Construction Industry UAE — OSHAD, MOHRE & ADCD Compliance

UAE construction sites are exposed to extreme heat, dust, and high-physical-stress conditions — placing workers at elevated cardiac arrest risk. OSHAD CoP 47.0 and MOHRE Ministerial Resolution 32 of 1982 both require adequate first-aid provisions on every site, with AED deployment increasingly mandated for sites with 100+ workers.
