health and safety is a must for the entire emirates since as far as this time atleast dubai and abu dhabi are trying and some are regarded as the best though, with the continous support from the government HSE issues will be enhanced.

Yes, there is a lack of awareness. But thankfully my company is having mandatory safety training for each year which keeps me well informed regarding safety issues. And I do confirm that I started looking seriously regarding safety issues only after attending these training course

Today there is no dearth of information about HSE Best Practices and methods of compliance enforcement. The only problem is with enforcers. Most HSE Professionals lack the conviction to stay firm on their resolve due to many factors like lack of support from their employers, who would rather take shortcuts than abide by the norms they have vowed to implement.As HSE enforcement begins at the Top, it would be very encouraging if all Business Heads were HSE Inducted by the Government of the land and made to understand the importance of HSE compliance.
