Dubai authorities collaborate to strengthen investigations towards ensuring public safety and work-related incidents

Dubai Police and Dubai Municipality Strengthen Cooperation in Public Safety and Workplace Accidents

In a significant move towards enhancing safety standards, Dubai Police and Dubai Municipality have signed a service level agreement to bolster their cooperation in investigating public safety and workplace accidents.

The agreement, signed by Brigadier Mansour Yusuf Al Qargaoui and Dr. Naseem Mohammed Rafi, emphasizes the importance of this collaboration in improving preparedness, strengthening Dubai's safety framework, and ensuring more efficient handling of accidents across the emirate.

Under the terms of the agreement, Dubai Police will secure and document accident sites within four hours of detection, providing statements and evidence to support investigations. Dubai Municipality, on the other hand, will respond to sites within 24 hours, offering technical expertise and assessing the causes and impact of incidents.

The collaboration aims to improve response times and investigation quality, safeguarding lives and property. Brigadier Al Qargaoui stated that the primary objective is to protect lives, property, and ensure community safety in line with the government's efforts.

Dr. Rafi, from Dubai Municipality, highlighted the importance of the agreement as an important step in advancing occupational health and safety initiatives. He also emphasized Dubai Municipality's commitment to applying the highest standards for public and workplace safety, enhancing the efficiency of their systems, and reinforcing Dubai's reputation as a global leader in safety and security standards.

The agreement includes mechanisms for information sharing, reporting, and field coordination. Dubai Police has reiterated its commitment to working closely with government partners, specifically Dubai Municipality, in public safety investigations.

It's worth noting that Dubai Municipality has already made strides in promoting gender equality. It has become the first global entity to achieve gender equality ISO certification, although this is not directly related to the agreement.

The location of the agreement is Dubai, United Arab Emirates. However, the specific terms and details of the agreement were not provided in the text. The collaboration remains within Dubai, with Dubai Police and Dubai Municipality working together to ensure the safety and security of the emirate's residents and visitors.
