German group to stage safety exhibition in Dubai

Epoc Messe Frankfurt, organisers of the Intersec trade fair and conference, will host a construction safety conference on January 18 to 20 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre to focus on commercial security, safety and health, fire and rescue, and homeland security and policing in the Middle East.

"The rapid increase in the number of construction projects in the UAE and other Gulf countries has caused an alarming number of accidents at construction sites," said Angela Schierholz, senior show manager Epoc Messe Frankfurt, organizers of Intersec.

"High investments in the infrastructure and construction industry do often stand in opposition to required safety standards. A variety of minimum safety standards has been implemented by the government, but the biggest challenge is to make companies adhere to these regulations by imposing fines and sanctions against those who break the rules," added Schierholz.
