Occupational Health Card
Occupational Health Card
As of 2023, Dubai Municipality has mandated that individuals employed within the salon, beauty, and spa industries must possess a valid Occupational Health certificate/card. This requirement applies to all staff members operating within these sectors within Dubai. Compliance with this regulation ensures adherence to occupational health standards and promotes the well-being of workers and patrons alike.
An Occupational Health certificate/card is a document that certifies an individual’s compliance with health and safety standards relevant to their profession.
The requirement aims to ensure the safety and well-being of both employees and clients within the beauty and wellness industry by ensuring that workers are knowledgeable about and adhere to relevant health and safety practices.
Failure to possess a valid Occupational Health certificate/card may result in penalties or fines, and individuals may be prohibited from working within the beauty and wellness sector until they obtain the required certification.
Renewal requirements may vary, but typically individuals need to undergo periodic re-certification or refresher training to ensure ongoing compliance with health and safety standards.
