The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation launched a platform to help ensure employers in the UAE are providing appropriate labour accommodation for workers.
The new platform, accessed via the ministry's homepage, allows employers and landlords to add information about the accommodation and supporting documentation that confirms that health and safety guidelines are being followed.
The system will help to determine the validity of housing and its safety, the ministry said.
The guidelines outline that each worker should be allocated a three-square-metre space and the accommodation should include dining halls, a medical service room, kitchen, bathrooms, and prayer and laundry rooms.
The bedrooms must be made of non-flammable material and should not be used for eating, doing laundry or cooking.
They must be air-conditioned, well ventilated and well lit.
Containers for waste and safe spaces for gas cylinders must be located outside the kitchen.
Landlords are required to sign contracts with pest control and maintenance companies to ensure the accommodation and its water tanks are always clean.
They need to provide properly distributed fire extinguishers, water pumps and hoses, install fire alarms and signboards showing emergency exits.
“This is part of a ministry comprehensive system to ensure health and safety guidelines are implemented at labour accommodation, which includes conducting regular checks,” said Ibrahim Al Ammari, director of the occupational health and safety department.
"Landlords can register their labour accommodation on the platform on the ministry’s website www.mohre.gov.ae.
“Employers can register the leased site and add their workers in the system, which will help them prove they are meeting requirements and standards.”

Sheikh Zayed's poem
When it is unveiled at Abu Dhabi Art, the Standing Tall exhibition will appear as an interplay of poetry and art. The 100 scarves are 100 fragments surrounding five, figurative, female sculptures, and both sculptures and scarves are hand-embroidered by a group of refugee women artisans, who used the Palestinian cross-stitch embroidery art of tatreez. Fragments of Sheikh Zayed’s poem Your Love is Ruling My Heart, written in Arabic as a love poem to his nation, are embroidered onto both the sculptures and the scarves. Here is the English translation.
Your love is ruling over my heart
Your love is ruling over my heart, even a mountain can’t bear all of it
Woe for my heart of such a love, if it befell it and made it its home
You came on me like a gleaming sun, you are the cure for my soul of its sickness
Be lenient on me, oh tender one, and have mercy on who because of you is in ruins
You are like the Ajeed Al-reem [leader of the gazelle herd] for my country, the source of all of its knowledge
You waddle even when you stand still, with feet white like the blooming of the dates of the palm
Oh, who wishes to deprive me of sleep, the night has ended and I still have not seen you
You are the cure for my sickness and my support, you dried my throat up let me go and damp it
Help me, oh children of mine, for in his love my life will pass me by.
