British Council, Abu Dhabi centre in green deal

Abu Dhabi, July 31, 2014

The British Safety Council has signed a partnership agreement with Abu Dhabi’s Environment, Health and Safety Center (OSHAD) to share best practice in the management of occupational health and safety.

It will also aim to help the Emirate to raise awareness among employers and workers of the social and business benefits of well-managed health and safety.

Under the agreement, the British Safety Council will share its and its members’ knowledge and expertise of the systems and arrangements that lead to excellent health and safety performance. We will also help OSHAD to raise awareness of the benefits of sensible and proportionate management of health and safety risks among Abu Dhabi’s employers.

Alex Botha, chief executive of the British Safety Council, said: “The British Safety Council's vision is that no one should be injured or made ill at work, anywhere in the world, so we are delighted to be sharing our knowledge and expertise, developed over almost 60 years, on the best ways of achieving excellent health and safety performance.

“The evidence shows that taking sensible and proportionate measures to prevent workplace injuries and work-related ill health is of great social and economic value: it protects people and is good for business.

 “We look forward to working with OSHAD to help it promote and encourage the very highest health and safety standards among Abu Dhabi’s employers.” – TradeArabia News Service
