A group of ENOC employees completed a four-week intensive training programme at the prestigious International Fire Training Centre in London
Ten young UAE Nationals from ENOC’s Technical Training Programme (TTP) completed the training course and covered rigorous coaching on structural firefighting, oil and gas firefighting and HAZMAT (hazardous material) handling.
The graduation ceremony was held at the London International Fire Training Centre, attended by Nabeel Abdul Kareem, director of the EHS Services Group.
The London course – which includes lectures, seminars, assessments and group exercises – has prepared employees to take on a full-time career as firefighters at the ENOC Fire Emergency Response Centre (EFERC) in Jebel Ali.
ENOC is the first energy company in the UAE to offer its employees the opportunity to participate in this technical training programme; a move that reiterates the group’s commitment to raising HSE standards and investing in the development of human capital.
Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of ENOC, said, “ENOC remains committed to its mandate of developing its human capital and fostering strong partnerships with institutions specialising in training and development to further enhance our employees’ skill sets. By raising benchmarks continually, especially within our group’s environment, health and safety practices, we are leading the way for the energy sector to stay aligned with the global industry’s stringent safety policies.”
Operating in a versatile sector, ENOC regularly conducts internal fire drills as well as Joint Fire Emergency Exercises in coordination with Dubai Civil Defense. Enhancing emergency response measures is crucial to the continuity of the group’s business, which each year mandates training for its employees based on their training needs identification (TNI).
