Extra Co is proud to have partnered with Sharjah Police and the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) to conduct a comprehensive Heat Stress Campaign and refresher program across our UAE project sites. This initiative was designed to educate construction workers about the dangers of heat stress, prevention measures, and proper safety protocols in the region’s challenging climate.
All participating workers received medical checkups, personalized consultations, refreshments, hydration materials, and appreciation gifts as tokens of our commitment to their health and safety.
Campaign Highlights
Interactive Open Forum Sessions
Officials and representatives interacted directly with workers in an open forum setting. This interactive session allowed workers to ask questions about heat stress prevention, proper hydration, work-rest schedules, and other occupational safety concerns in a relaxed and accessible environment.
Dedicated Health Screening Stations
Medical professionals conducted individual consultations with workers at dedicated health screening stations. Health banners displayed crucial information about heat stress causes, signs, symptoms, and prevention measures. Workers received personalized medical advice and health guidance from qualified medical staff.
Appreciation & Safety Materials Distribution
A senior official distributed appreciation gifts and drawstring bags containing safety information and refreshment materials to workers. These bags served as memorable tokens acknowledging the workers’ participation in the program.
Large-Scale Hydration Support
A large-scale refreshment distribution center provided numerous crates filled with water bottles, electrolyte drinks, and refreshments. Multiple staff members managed the distribution, ensuring all workers had access to adequate hydration materials. Large cooling fans provided ventilation, emphasizing the campaign’s commitment to worker comfort and health.
