Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has issued its Regulations for Electrical Installations 2017 booklet to provide engineers and technicians with a guide for the installation and checking of electrical connections.

This is part of Dewa’s efforts to facilitate its procedures and adopt the best international practices in adherence with the directives of the wise leadership and minimise any hazards that may result from faulty electrical connections.

“By issuing this booklet, we aim to build bridges of trust with our stakeholders, by ensuring continuous development, according to the latest international standards of safety and security in the workplace. We are working to implement Dewa’s strategy that focuses on promoting safety and environmental stability, while providing water and electricity services at the highest standards of availability, reliability, efficiency and safety,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dewa.

“Dewa launched its Health and Safety Week, which is organised annually to promote the highest standards and practices in health, safety and sustainability. Dewa has achieved a safety and security score of 98 per cent and is considered a leading organisation in this field.

“Dewa has also achieved a zero-accident rate, and became the first organisation in the world to win both the Sword of Honour for health and safety and the Globe of Honour for Environment from the British Safety Council for five consecutive years. Dewa was one of 50 institutions worldwide who won the Globe of Honour and one of only seven international organisations to be awarded with both the Sword of Honour and the Globe of Honour at the same time,” added Al Tayer. – TradeArabia News Service
