SUBJECT: UAE APPROVES ILO BIO-HAZARD RULES
¶1. (U) The UAE approved the recommendations of the
International Labour Organization (ILO) on ccupational
health and safety. The ILO agreed, in a conference
last month, to new standards for the prevention of
biological hazards in the workplace, calling for
action to reduce the number of deaths, injuries and
disease among workers. The action plan approved by the
ILO requires states to guarantee the right to a safe
and healthy working environment.
¶2. (SBU) Comment: The UAE continues to enact domestic
labor laws that conform with international principles.
The government understands well that the UAE economy,
including the laws that regulate the labor market,
must conform to global standards or it will lag
behind. Additionally, Minister of Labor Matar Humaid
Al-Tayer and Undersecretary Dr. Khalid Al-Khazraji led
the UAE delegation to Geneva -- a further indication
of the importance of the ILO Conference to the UAEG
and its commitment to labor reform. End comment.
