The 62-point compliance checklist

✅ Before your next authority inspection — run through this checklist.

Over the past four weeks we have covered the full landscape of UAE labour camp safety regulations: the 2026 changes, fire safety requirements, emirate-by-emirate authorities, and the federal framework.

Today we are sharing the most practical tool in the series — a 62-point compliance checklist built directly from MoHRE, Cabinet Resolution No. 13 of 2009, the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice, and emirate-level authority guidelines.

The checklist covers all 12 compliance areas:

🏗️ Camp Management & Siting — registration, location, supervision ratios, CCTV, security
🛏️ Rooms & Accommodation — space per worker, occupancy limits, furnishings, no cooking in rooms
🍽️ Food, Kitchen & Canteen — catering standards, water coolers, dining space ratios
🚿 Sanitation & Ablution — toilet, shower, and washbasin ratios, cleaning schedules
🏥 Medical & First Aid — first-aid rooms, quarantine facilities, 24/7 clinics
🔥 Fire Safety & Civil Defense — alarms, extinguishers, exits, muster points, materials
💡 Ventilation & Lighting — AC requirements, humidity, minimum lux levels by area
👥 Entertainment & Social — free internet, prayer room, TV room, recreation
🚌 Transport & Buses — bus access, emergency vehicle routes, pedestrian passages
📋 Worker Rights & Communication — multilingual signage, complaint mechanisms
🗑️ Laundry & Waste — laundry facilities, sealed waste containers, pest control
🚪 Stairways & Exits — stairway widths, elevators, maintenance contracts

Every item is tagged as Critical, Standard, or Advisory — so you know exactly where to focus before an inspection.

The checklist is free, interactive, and requires no login. Use it as a self-audit tool, share it with your camp supervisor, or run through it with your HSE team before an authority visit.
