Qudos Launches a Health & Safety & Risk Management Control System in the Middle East - The acceleration in the amount and sheer volume of legislation that affects us all in Dubai and throughout the region, both organisations and consumers, has been impressive, and shows no sign of slowing down. It would be easier to name sectors for which health and safety and risk management are not an issue. The imperatives behind this avalanche of directives and statutes are understandable in the thriving environment which is the Middle East and, in Dubai, form part of the vision of UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Yet governments and regulatory bodies need to reflect upon the full impact of legislation before perfecting more of it. The main targets, as always, relate to documentation and data, as well as quality of product and environmental concerns.
