From February 2020, we implemented strict protocols based on 16 separate guidelines issued by the World Health Organization, the Abu Dhabi Municipality and the UAE Federal Government. These were clearly communicated to all workers and visitors and included robust audits and risk assessments to ensure full compliance with legal requirements and best practices; thermal camera screening and testing of visitors at sites, on-site medical facility control measures and quarantine rooms; physical distancing between workers on sites and in offices, with additional transport measures put in place to reduce numbers of passengers per vehicle; daily cleaning and disinfection; and sanitisation of sites and a UV light steriliser for documents. In the normal course of events, too, Aldar Development has in place a detailed risk management procedure and policy, supported by a comprehensive hazard identification process, reporting tools and mechanisms. Creating safe, healthy workplaces As a responsible employer upholding the highest standards, Aldar emphasises that the safety of our employees and contractors takes precedence over any work, however urgent. All personnel are advised and encouraged to immediately stop any activity that could potentially result in injury or ill health, and to report the danger to their direct supervisor and Health Safety & Environment (HSE) department for further investigation. This advice is communicated to new joiners during their induction, together with an assurance that they will not face any type of reprisal for doing so. We have also developed a feedback and evaluation procedure, whereby our employees are encouraged to provide their feedback at various opportunities, including OSH Committee meetings, annual OSH reviews, our second party audit and during OSH training/workshop programmes. Our Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) Policy and wider Environmental Health & Safety Management System (EHSMS) are designed to protect our people at Aldar Development and Aldar Investment and support their wellbeing, with both being continually updated to align with international Health and Safety Management standards, including ISO 45001 (related to occupational health and safety) and ISO standards 9001, 19011 and 31000 (related to quality, auditing and risk respectively). At Aldar Projects, we provide a healthy and safe environment to protect our workforce and ensure they feel safe on a daily basis. This was never more important than throughout the coronavirus pandemic, and the fact that we delivered all of our projects on time with zero LTI proved our readiness and agility to deal with unprecedented challenges.
