Grasping Trakhees and EHS Compliance
Prior to the commencement of projects in certain areas of Dubai, particularly in free zones such as those operated by the Ports, Customs & Free Zone Corporation (PCFC), you must always seek Trakhees approval prior to anything commencing. The Trakhees department develops Environment, Health and Safety standards (EHS) to ensure developments promote Dubai’s long-term sustainability goals.
The EHS Trakhees department is critical in approving design layouts, checking safety measures and ensuring the project follows correct waste management and environmental standards. For contractors specifically, if a contractor is Trakhees approved, it is more than just a logo. It holds value in proving they are competent and trusted in managing complex projects that are controlled heavily by health and safety.
The Waqar Demolition Team as Trakhees approved contractors ensures every aspect of the process, from documentation to implementation onsite is compliant to EHS regulations. We work directly with clients, engineers and the authorities to ensure a smooth and stress free approval process.
