The AED amounts produced here come from the Safety Discipline Scheme (Rev 03) — a contractor-applied site scheme, not a statutory fine schedule set by any UAE authority. Authority penalties for the same breach are set by the regulator and can differ. Check the official sources above and your own project scheme before issuing any penalty.
