About EHS
Established in 1992 and initially named "Free Zone Industrial Operations Control Department", EHS grew alongside the rapidly developing Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority to become an integral part of the expansion.

The progression of other Business Units within the Group, combined with the expansions of JAFZA and DPA, necessitated the development of EHS as an additional Business Unit.

As a full pledged Business unit monitoring commercial and industrial businesses' compliance with government regulations, EHS has progressed to achieve international awards. EHS has set industry standards by providing outstanding levels of service and performance. EHS has adopted a mandate of commitment to its clients, based on delivering service which exceeds expectations. These services relate to a wide range of activities: from environmental sustainability and occupational safety, to chemical, radiation, and biological hazard protection.

EHS's vision is to foster and enhance the initiatives of environment protection, health, hygiene and safety as the foundation of an enlightened community. These initiatives can be met through education, awareness, training and regulatory measures, thereby achieving sustainable development and workplace health and safety standards that pilot the region to exceed global expectations.
