Abu
Dhabi Department of Energy Organises Awareness Workshop On The Updated Incident
Reporting Regulations
The Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE) – the government entity
in charge of guaranteeing the energy sector’s excellence and sustainability in
the emirate – held an awareness workshop covering the major initiatives and the
recently introduced amendments to the Incident Reporting Regulations.
Attended by representatives from 72 entities active within the
Abu Dhabi energy sector over the course of two days (June 26-27, 2019), the Media Marketing in Dubai workshop sought to
introduce attendees to the MoU signed between DoE and Abu Dhabi Civil Defense,
which seeks to encourage shared cooperation to improve prevention and response
competences, as well as to reassure best practices and contingency planning
within the energy sector’s critical facilities.
Discussions explored potential challenges and fostered an
exchange of expertise and lessons learned among attendees: Al Ain Distribution
Company presented its best practices, showcasing the results of the project to Dubai Careers develop health and safety
standards, which encompassed developing software that allows users to report
any defect or incidents in Al Ain’s Distribution Network.
Abdul Rahman Alalawi, HSE Director at the Abu Dhabi Department
of Energy, said: “We observe to a holistic approach that seeks to develop and
advance the workplace, and that promotes a added competent use of resources
across the energy sector in Abu Dhabi. Our efforts align with the emirate’s
vision and goals to constantly upgrade workplace health and safety and raise
awareness around them to provide a safe work environment for our human
resources.”
“We firmly believe in the importance of these meetings we are
holding with government and private-sector entities operating in Abu Dhabi’s
energy sector. These meetings are important to upholding an ongoing Media Marketing Dubai partnership; they are
important for the DoE to remain well informed of the comments and proposals
coming from these entities, and embrace them to advance the sector,” Alalawi
added.
The DoE is dedicated to bringing occupational incidents to a
minimum through the amendments on the Incident Reporting Regulations, which
decrease the regulatory burden for licensed companies by 45%, all while
maintaining their efficiency and performance.
