HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, CEO of Dubai electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) opened Health and Safety Week which will take place 12 - 15 December 2016 across all DEWA branches in order to focus on best practices 

DEWA's Health and Safety Week has been organised to discuss best practices in quality, health safety and environment at work, supporting DEWA's Integrated Management System policy, and its commitment to providing a safe and healthy work atmosphere. 

Opening the event on 12 December was HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, managing direction and chief executive officer of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. In attendance were DEWA's executive and vice presidents, DEWA's directors and managing and a number of DEWA's employees, contractors and stakeholders. 

Health and Safety week will run across the DEWA branches, and will include a variety of activities and programmes. These are not only designed for employees, but also for families and children in order to instill the importance of a great working environment. These lectures and events are to run in Arabic, English, Indian and Urdu. There is also a fitness competition that stakeholders can enter, again, to instill the importance of good health, and how this affects work. 

Al Tayer stated DEWA's accomplishment in his speech saying “We implement cutting-edge methods that meet the highest criteria and best global practices. This annual event also helps to promote DEWA’s IMS policy, which supports health, safety and sustainability. At DEWA, we remain fully committed to providing an inspiring environment that guarantees the health and safety of our employees, partners, developers, customers and stakeholders.”
