The municipality has strengthened monitoring and inspections of work sites.

Authorities in Sharjah and Ajman have raised concerns about the rising deaths and injuries among workers at their worksites. Causes of these incidents include falling from high-rise buildings, electrocution, falling of objects on workers, scaffolding faults, inhalation of poisonous gases and chemical materials.

An official at the Sharjah Municipality said the municipality carries out continuous inspections at the work sites to make sure companies are implementing safety regulations to protect workers. "Companies should take strict measures to ensure the safety of their cranes and other building equipment to avoid any accidents," he said.
