The law aims to create a safe environment for residents and citizens by addressing risks proactively while maintaining harmony with national values. It emphasizes both preventive and deterrent measures, ensuring that public safety is prioritized across all sectors of society.

Authorities have ensured that the law aligns with international standards, balancing enforcement with respect for individual freedoms. This approach demonstrates Oman’s effort to remain modern and globally aligned while preserving its cultural authenticity and societal principles.
