by ArabianBusiness.com staff writer  on Saturday, 21 March 2009

Abu Dhabi-based developer Aldar Properties is the first master developer of Abu Dhabi to formally become a full signatory member of Build Safe UAE.

Build Safe UAE is a non-profit organisation aimed at improving the health, safety and conditions of all construction industry stakeholders through the exchange of information between organisations working in the UAE.

The move is in line with Aldar's efforts to raise the bar on health and safety standards.

Aldar's HSE head Andrew Broderick said: "This is a tremendous step forward for the construction industry of the UAE. As the largest master developer of Abu Dhabi, Aldar is setting a strong example in supporting this campaign's vision to improve the current benchmark of health, safety and welfare performance for all construction stakeholders in the UAE."

Aldar won the Best Health and Safety Achievement in construction award for 2008, granted by the Safety and Health Practitioner and Institution and has implemented the "million man hours with zero injuries."
