Overview and Significance of the Study
Occupational health and safety process was established in 2010 and this is the comprehensive and integrated management system of occupational safety. In Abu Dhabi, organisational incidents, injuries, illness all these criteria are catered by that process. OSHAD lead and coordinate the developing regulation of Emirate. The basic elements are dealing with OSH roles and responsibilities. Self-regulation of OSH is defined for the external stakeholders as well. In Element 4 of communication and consultation, employees’ policies are redefined through the case (Oshad.ae 2018). OSHAD is the Competent Authority implements the health and safety process. Abu Dhabi government delivers the best international practice for that. There are some plans like lifting plans for employees, medical surveillance process will be ensured in the proper process. Abu Dhabi Administration is devoted to guard the health and safety of all employees and to expand the performance of offices to the best and uppermost levels in this zone, in order to subsidize to stopping and minimalizing incidents and grievances and work-related diseases and illness. Improvement in performance will be there as the government has some principles to protect their employees from social hazards and operational matter (Oshad.ae 2018). Government individuals are openly managed by OSHAD, which appraisal their organisation schemes and monitor the operation.
The significance of the study ensures the amalgamation of OSHAD regulation and recommends effective integration with OSHA-SF in private organisation. The regulations are based on the codes of practice, the standard guideline for values, and the process of mechanism effective for employees. There are some other relevant competent authorities like federal, local authorities for the employees (Oshad.ae 2018). The role of other competent authorities is the participation and contribution of the development for the employees which is approved by the proper guideline of OSHAD-SF (Oshad.ae 2018). Delegation and appropriate operation processes are also maintained by the enforcement appraisal of OSHAD-SF and that is a mandatory process.
Aim
The aim of the research is to analyse the health and safety processes which have been formulated by the governing body of OSHAD. There is some derivation of occupational exposure in the private and public sector industry in Abu Dhabi. Thus, the values of occupational health and safety ensured in that case.

To ensure the vision of Abu Dhabi Government to protect employees from health hazards. |
The situation will be measured by the Integrated system of Prevention policies applied to the community. If a good success rate is maintained throughout the successive years. |
The project can be achieved through the effective implementation of the policies and OSH capabilities and concept. |
This is a relevant approach in business as occupational safety is the primary need of an employee in an organisation. The organisation progress and advancement depend on that effective employee’s productivity. |
The process of meeting this key objective may take 2 years to consolidate. But once it happens, it will be a great achievement for the Abu Dhabi government as well as for the employees in private and public sector. |

To determine the occupational benefit and health programs to business efficiencies of employees |
The process will be measured by the international and national outflow of business and reach of that business at its highest level. |
It can be achieved by the systematic manner of OSH cultural change. The incorporation of international standards along with the communication and consultation is the key approach in that case. |
The process is relevant as there are some risks worthy situation for employee and they have to deal with the situation. Polices are made by the government to ensure their safeties. |
The process can take 1 year as there are lots of permissions and protocols to execute that. |

To analyse the positive changes in health care system and improvements in business efficiency |
The system will be measured by the employees’ production improvement and utility nature of the work. The official advancement of OSHMS and long-term success in health and safety reduces mental challenges to cope up with the organisation. |
The process can be achieved by the application of performance management, the collaboration of government and private entities. Their incorporation provides them with a scope of mental wellbeing in a safe working condition. |
OHS performance controls the process and that is the reason most of the employees feel safe and sound in the organisation. The relevancy is there with the organisational development. |
The process needs 1year of time as the system framework management is the key approach in this process of complexity. |
The concept of OSHAD-SF in Abu Dhabi
An Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS) is a tool which integrates all occupational safety and health management components of business into one system. These components assist the business to gain its objectives perfectly by reducing occupational safety and health risks. This approach needs to combine all occupational health and safety internal business management practice into one integrated system which can be implemented by different entitles. Different management components Abu Dhabi Occupational Safety and Health System Framework (OSHAD-SF) require links between them to continue a complete system which operates as a whole as entity and emirate level (Oshad.ae 2018). OSHAD-SF follows the key requirements from the international standards, such as Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems (ISO 19011), Occupational Health and Safety System (OHSAS 18001) and Risk Management Principles (ISO 31000) (Oshad.ae 2018). The vision of OSHAD-SF is the workplace healthy and safe for all and mission statement of the organisation is to protect the employees by implementing integrated and sustainable OSH system along with international standards of excellence, innovation, competency for spreading OSH culture in Abu Dhabi. Values of OSHAD-SF are the commitment, happiness and positive energy, leadership and teamwork, competency, integrity and creativity and innovation (Al Maini et al. 2015). Roles and responsibilities of OSHAD-SF are to develop and update the requirements the overall system and implementation of relevant parties and the framework coordinates the concerned authority on all the issues related to the policy in order to raise the performance of occupational health and safety performance in the country. This framework monitors the implementation of health and safety in the workplace through audit and inspection. OSHAD provides licensing and registration of OSH practitioners and OSH professional entitles in the Emirate (Oshad.ae 2018). This framework can develop and implement OSH awareness programme and it sets an incentive system to encourage the OSHAD SF implementation. In addition, OSHAD SF holds the conference on occupational health and safety.
Aim and Objectives
The aim of OSHAD-SF is to integrated existing laws and regulation of OSH. This framework aims to ensure all the vision Government of Abu Dhabi should be promoted and achieved (Devkaran and O’Farrell 2014). The strategic objectives of OSHAD-SF are to update the system that includes the technical guidance and the framework sets the objective of the new requirement within the system in coordination and cooperation with relevant authorities. This system prepares the memorandum of understanding with local points such as mutual cooperation and benefit in international destinations from best practices (Al Dhaheri et al. 2017). OSHAD-SF wants the effective application of standards of occupational safety and healthy and it ensures compliance with reporting of accidents in the workplace.
Abu Dhabi Government confirms the positive and increases role being played by the government and positive entitles in promoting OHS in practice. OSHAD-SF can bring a benefit of improved OHS standards in the workplace both private and public sector. Private and public entities need to meet and strive to exceed the requirement level maintaining the compliance of OHS (Hashim, Alkaabi and Bharwani 2014). The benefit provided by OSHAD-SF can bring the reduced corporate liabilities and risks. This framework can reduce injuries, incidents and illness in the workplace (Oshad.ae 2018). This framework will help to report the injuries in the workplace immediately after the incident happens. OSHAD-SF defines the minimum requirement to be met by entitles so that they can seek to establish complaint OSHMS (Loeppke et al. 2016). OSHAD needs to be robust in the occupational health programme and it can improve business efficiency. Implementation of OSHAD-SF in private and public corporations can increase the staff wellbeing and morale of the people (Loney et al. 2013). OSHAD-SF shares the distinctive feature integrating some of the international OSH standards like Regulatory Integration of OSH, Capacity Building and Emiratisation, communication and consultation, Risk management, performance management, the partnership between government and private entities and promote and reward staff regulation (Oshad.ae 2018).
OHS is important in both private and public sector organisations and it includes health and safety of the customers, employees, volunteers, contractors and visitors. The management of both public and private companies follow the legal requirement to have the long-term success of the business (Lim et al. 2016). Integration of OSHAD-SF requirements into the organisations can help the firm to retain staffs, the incident of an accident in the firm will be lowered down, the firms will be able to maximise the employee productivity and they can minimise the injury and illness in the workplace. The core strategies of firms are related to the profit-making and revenue generations and the organisations create strategies for human resource (Rothmore and Boucaut 2015). Implementation of OSHAD-SF into the core-strategies of the organisation will reduce the costs of injuries incurred upon the firms and the firms will spend less money as compensation (Hussain et al. 2016). The firms will ensure to meet the legal obligation and employee responsibilities through OSHAD-SF system. Essentials of OSHMS implementation can support the integration of OSH culture into an organisation (Oshad.ae 2018). The organisation can be active in the involvement of each of the individuals in the workplace and the private and public firms will be able to identify the hazards along with will be able to do a risk assessment (Al Dhaheri et al. 2017). The organisation will be able to do effective communication through consultation. The essential of OSHAD-SF is the commitment of senior management and leadership in the provision of appropriate information, education and training.
Objective 1
There are three major types of research design like Exploratory, Descriptive, and Explanatory. All these designs are aligned with the in-depth manner of research analysis and help in the case of understanding the effectiveness of the project. The mannerism of research and extensive analysis of the program and their effectiveness in business is important in research design.
In this research process, the descriptive design will be followed. The research design helps in case of evaluating the research in the proper and scientific way (Grivna et al. 2012). The major steps are formulated by the evidence and that comes with the research background. Scientific methods are used in that case and that allows the observations of policies in OSHAD-SF. There are some true experiments of analysing data, found from the labours, workers, employees and the senior management of the organisation (Hajat, Harrison and Shather 2012). The hypothesis process sometimes takes high testing times and but the process of descriptive research provides analysis in quick time.
Research philosophy is about the phenomenon that is analysed and gathered for the use of the research. In the process of research strategy, philosophies are taken for the research. Positivism, Post-positivism, and Interpretivism are three major philosophies in general research structure (Hussain, Khan & Al-Aomar 2016).
In this research process, Positivism philosophy will be used. The observation of policies and the regulations are the key matter in that case and that allows rich tradition of research analysis. Expectations can be made on the source of the former experimental situations and clarified authenticities and their inter-relationships. Positivism has also had a positive connotation with the corporal and usual sciences and in this research process; the things are clarified and granted.
In case of research approach, inductive and deductive and inductive approaches are there. These three approaches find some positive inter-relation between variables. In this research process, deductive research approach will be used. The approach based on the existing theory. The strategic decision making, in that case, is based on the hypothesis. The relationship between these factors is creating concepts and makes an advantage or avoids risks. The complete research can be done in quick time.
In data collection method, Primary and secondary both these data collection method deliver validity and reliability (El Oakley et al. 2013). The research area, in that case, evaluates the quality, source, depth of analysis and extent of contribution. In this research process, the primary research process will be used. The process collects data from two processes like quantitative and qualitative data collection method. In that case focus on groups, interview, questionnaires of open-ended questions, case studies, and role play is a major concern, thus qualitative study will be used for the legitimate formulation of the research. Research analysis will be qualitative in that case helps to gather data from the different source as well to evaluate that.
Some ethical considerations are there in the research and the researcher has to follow the process while doing the research. Confidentiality of participants, respect for the dignity of speech, honesty, transparency in research will be important (Abdel-Razig et al. 2016). No manipulation will be done from the researcher end and participants can say anything about the matter and the analysis is based on that only. Misleading participants in a kind of unethical matter and that will not happen in this research process. Participants are delivering their answers with full consent and that will be ethical for the research.
Objective 2
The outcome will be valuable and reliable for the future research process. The relationship and implementation of OSHAD on OSHAD-SF are one of the major steps that Arabic Government has taken and future study will exhibit the process (Vetter and Boecker 2012). There is some limitation regarding time and money but overall the approach and values taken from methodology and literature review respectively address the fulfilment of research. The outcomes are based on the issues and decisions made by Executive council and government of Abu Dhabi. General entities and OSH programs in private and public sector companies are helpful for the employees.
The general implication concern about authorises approval of the government. Employees are benefitted by that approach and registered policies help them to channelize the process. OSHAD maintenance by the government of Abu Dhabi has segmented in some sections (Vetter and Boecker 2012). Nomination of high-risk entity concerns with SRA, notification of Medium risk entity concerns with Mechanism 5.0-OHS and that ensure the official notification process of activities. In the case of low-risk regulatory authority controls the entire process and compliance against OSHAD-SF turned down through the case. The research will help to compose the situation and make way for the further development of the business.
