Abu Dhabi: A group of workers was recently treated to a tour of the capital as a gesture of social responsibility, the Municipality of Abu Dhabi City said in a statement on Monday.
The group of 25 workers was taken on a two-and-a-half-hour bus ride starting from Marina Mall. The initiative, under the theme ‘Bring Happiness to Workers’, was organised to recognise the efforts of workers in supporting the city’s development and sustainability, the municipal statement said.
“[This initiative reflects] the noble humanitarian principles of the UAE, which prioritises regard for all community members, including construction workers. The municipality always seeks to implement all international laws and conventions for worker well-being, especially the provision of a suitable living environment that can contribute to their happiness,” the statement said.
The municipality also organised a community fun day at Mohammad Bin Zayed Park that was attended by more than 250 workers.
The statement added that the municipality emphasises the well-being of all workers, and therefore conducts regular inspection campaigns to ensure that their health and safety are guarded. It also holds workshops throughout the year to ensure that workers and company officials are aware of how to establish and maintain a safe and healthy working environment.
