Yard worker health research

Drydocks World said that the research programme is one of the many initiatives started by the company to give its employees a high standard of occupational safety.

Both parties signed the joint research agreement for the WELSHIP programme back in 2013.

The programme objective was to undertake a programme of high quality research on the acute and chronic cardio-respiratory health outcomes in steel welders at the facility.

But the next phase of research will examine the risks of respiratory infections in steel welders.

Drydocks World Dubai is the largest facility in the Middle East and is the flagship company of Dubai World.
