productivity in the working environment. This manual demonstrates our commitment to the

highest standards of quality and excellence, intending to deliver a secure and healthy

work environment that upholds environmental sustainability and inspires innovation
among employees. We are confident that implementing this handbook will result in the

establishment of a strong culture of prevention and risk management, making our

institutions more equipped and prepared to handle future challenges and advance
sustainable growth.”

“Investing in occupational health, safety, and environment is a significant investment in
human capital, which is our most valuable resource, and emphasises Dubai’s position as

a global city that seeks to achieve the highest standards of happiness and well-being for

its citizens.” Al Falasi added.
