OHS Person in Charge Training for Frontline Supervisors

Practical Safety Supervision Training for Shift Managers and Site Supervisors

M2Y Global Academy delivers specialized OHS Person in Charge training aligned with Dubai Municipality Guideline 68, preparing frontline supervisors and shift managers to fulfill their critical role in maintaining workplace safety across all industries in Dubai. Our practical, scenario-based training develops the essential skills supervisors need to protect workers and ensure safe operations during every shift.

The Frontline Safety Challenge

Supervisors and shift managers are the first line of defense in workplace safety. While OHS Practitioners develop organizational safety policies and programs, it’s the frontline supervisors—the persons in charge during actual work operations—who ensure these policies are implemented effectively and workers go home safely every day.

The Critical Role of OHS Person in Charge:

  • Direct worker oversight during work shifts and activities
  • Real-time hazard identification and risk control implementation
  • Immediate incident response and emergency management
  • Safety communication with diverse workforces
  • Work permit authorization and safe system implementation
  • PPE compliance enforcement and workplace inspection
  • Safety culture promotion through leadership and example

Mandatory Requirement for Dubai Industries

Dubai Municipality Guideline 68 mandates that all industries operating in the Emirate must appoint at least one Certified OHS Person in Charge for each work shift and at each work location.

What This Means:

For Multi-Shift Operations:

  • Morning shift: Requires certified person in charge
  • Afternoon shift: Requires certified person in charge
  • Night shift: Requires certified person in charge
  • Total: Minimum 3 certified persons in charge for 24/7 operations

 

For Multi-Location Companies:

  • Construction Site A: Requires certified person in charge
  • Construction Site B: Requires certified person in charge
  • Warehouse: Requires certified person in charge
  • Total: Minimum 3 certified persons in charge across locations

 

For Complex Operations: Large companies with multiple shifts at multiple locations need comprehensive coverage with certified persons in charge for every combination of shift and location to ensure continuous safety supervision.
