Keolis MHI launches summer heat campaign in Dubai

Keolis MHI has launched a three-month summer heat campaign across its Dubai operations to reduce heat stress risks and reinforce health, safety and environmental standards. The effort is aimed at protecting workers, supporting uninterrupted service and aligning with the UAE’s occupational heat stress policy.

Why it matters: - The campaign is designed to protect employees during Dubai’s hottest months, when heat stress can affect health, safety and work performance. - Keolis MHI links worker wellbeing to operational continuity and safe, reliable transport service. - The initiative also supports the UAE’s broader push for stronger occupational health and safety standards.
