Free Zones

Authority: Trakhees (JAFZA/PCFC), DAFZA, RAKEZ, KIZAD, and other zone authorities

Free zones are subject to federal MoHRE standards under Cabinet Resolution No. 13 of 2009 (Article 5 explicitly applies to all UAE zones including free zones). Additionally, each free zone authority may impose supplementary requirements. JAFZA (Jebel Ali Free Zone) provides managed worker accommodation within the zone. Trakhees regulates health, safety, and environment for JAFZA and other PCFC-managed zones.

This authority does not publish a penalty schedule or inspection cycle publicly. Federal standards apply as the floor — work from the documents above and confirm locally.

Reference material only. Fines and inspection cycles are applied at authority discretion and change often — verify against the current circular for your jurisdiction before relying on any figure.
