OSHAD Registration in Abu Dhabi: What You Need to Know

Ordosafe HSE Team · June 26, 2026

If you work in occupational safety and health in Abu Dhabi, you may need to be registered as an OSH practitioner under the OSHAD-SF framework. Here’s an overview of what that involves.

The OSHAD-SF framework

Abu Dhabi’s OSH system framework (OSHAD-SF), overseen by the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center (ADPHC), sets mandatory, risk-based requirements for workplaces in the Emirate — including the registration and recognition of OSH practitioners through its mechanisms.

Who needs to register?

OSH practitioners working in Abu Dhabi entities may need to hold recognised qualifications and be registered to practise. Requirements depend on your role and the sector you work in.

Requirements and registration mechanisms are updated periodically by ADPHC — always confirm the current process on the official ADPHC website before applying. [Confirm current nomination/registration details.]
