(MENAFN- Gulf Times) United Development Company (UDC) took home two accolades at the 'Qatar Achievement on Vocational Safety' and Qatar Labour Rights Protection conferences held recently.
While UDC received the Labour Rights Protection Shield at the Labour Rights Protection Conference, an award recognising organisations that have successfully implemented fair, work-friendly practices and standards throughout their domain of operations, it got a safety award during a conference held earlier to release the 'Qatar Achievement on Vocational Safety' book in collaboration with Qatar Chamber.
Abdullatif Ali al-Yafei, chief corporate development officer at UDC who represented the company at both events along with other senior executives, said the achievements were clearly in recognition of the company's commitment to safety as well as the protection of labour rights in the workplace.
"Qatar is a truly unique country where safety and labour protection rights are expected of all companies engaged in business and development operations in the country," al-Yafei said.
"UDC is proud to take the lead as a safety conscientious employer that treats labour fairly and justly while it contributes to the development of this great nation. Winning awards such as these is a validation that we are on the right path."
UDC, a leading Qatari development and investment firm and master developer of The Pearl-Qatar, plays a key role in the country's development while maintaining strict safety and health standards, according to a statement.
The company employs a highly-trained and experienced health and safety team using the latest technology and applying the highest standards and procedures in regulating working conditions, the statement adds. Subsidiary operations and construction sites are regularly monitored through inspections, audits and site visits conducted by the company's health, safety and environment department.
