## New Competency-Based Framework

Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre (ADPHC) has launched a new competency-based framework under the Qudorat Program to enhance occupational safety and health (OSH) standards. This initiative aims to assess and register OSH practitioners and service providers, ensuring they meet approved standards and are well-prepared for their roles.

## Focus on Competency and Compliance

The framework marks a significant shift in regulating the OSH profession by emphasizing competency verification and performance assessment. This approach is expected to improve service quality and elevate workplace safety across the emirate.

## Registration and Continuous Development

Practitioners will undergo qualification checks and competency assessments before registration. The initial phase will categorize specialists into roles such as OSH General Practitioner, Senior Practitioner, and Auditor. The initiative also promotes continuous professional development, encouraging specialists to stay updated with global practices.

## Streamlined Registration Process

Registration will be facilitated through the TAMM digital government services platform, making the process accessible for practitioners and service providers in Abu Dhabi. This framework is part of broader efforts by ADPHC to strengthen public health systems and enhance community health by focusing on workplace safety.
