Posted By Wayne Harris Gerry, Reference your list of questions. The only official recognised course being run connected with Dubai Health and Safety Legislation / practices is by NAKHEEL. Which is a mandatory (Free of Charge) course. If you were intending on working on a health and safety role on any of Dubai World / NAKHEEL Developments (over 60% of all major developments in Dubai over the next 15 years) you would have to attend this course and be registered. Consultants are utilised by many organisations, but only if they meet the standards of competency etc., normally set by the respective organisation themselves. There is also a requirement to be registered in Dubai if you intend to operate from here full time. The question "Is there room for more H&S Consultants in Dubai?", only if they are good, as many are finding out the hard way that poor quality consultants do not survive very long, which is often due to the caliber of personnel they employ. Plus many consultants from the UK are mainly training organisations rather than true management consultants. (Over the last few months we have rejected many people based on lack of experience and competency) If you would like any further details email and I will be able to assist you further. Wayne
