Abu Dhabi’s court has increased the compensation amount awarded to the family of a construction worker who tragically died after falling from scaffolding. This fatal accident was attributed to the employer’s failure to properly adhere to safety regulations.
During the investigation, authorities discovered that the construction company did not take adequate measures to ensure the worker’s safety on site. The court’s decision to raise the payout sends a strong message about the critical importance of workplace safety and the responsibility of employers to protect their workers.
Key points highlighted by the ruling include:
- Strict adherence to safety rules by companies operating in the construction sector.
- Employer accountability for preventing workplace accidents.
- Justice system support for families of injured or deceased workers seeking fair compensation.
- The need for enhanced safety measures in all construction projects across the UAE.
This case serves as a reminder of the ongoing commitment required from both authorities and businesses to monitor work environments and prevent such tragic incidents in the future.
