Jumeirah Beach Residence's facilities management company receives OHSAS 18001 certification

The Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) certificate recognises IDAMA's commitment to implement preventive health and safety measures in the workplace, reiterating IDAMA's position in the industry as a responsible company. The certification also means that both employers and workers are trained and well informed on their responsibilities towards a healthy and safe environment.

Hashim Al Dabal, CEO of Dubai Properties said, "The certification monitors operational processes specific to IDAMA Facilities Management and IDAMA Consultancy Services. An OHSAS 18001 certification proves that your management system has been measured against best practice standards and found compliant with internationally recognized systems of occupational health and safety."

IDAMA had previously received the ISO 9001:2000 certification in recognition of its pioneering role in delivering high quality services to its customers. The compatibility of OHSAS 18001 with ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environmental) management systems' standards facilitates the integration of quality, environmental and occupational health and safety management systems.

"IDAMA's certification confirms the compliance of all operational systems including procedures, regulations and management system performance that could either directly or indirectly leads to injury or illness, property damage, and damage to the work environment. With the OHSAS certification, our safety management system is now internationally certified," said Billy Daly, CEO of IDAMA.

IDAMA, a member of Dubai Properties, offers single-window integrated facilities management solutions starting with facility design and planning, systems strategy and transition planning during construction stage, and ends with property and facility management services during post construction stage.

IDAMA already offers fully customised facilities management solutions to internationally acclaimed developments including Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City and Dubai Knowledge Village, Dubai Healthcare City and soon to be delivered Jumeirah Beach Residence. It has also been tasked with the management of Dubai Properties' Business Bay and The Villa project in Dubailand.
