Drydocks World – Dubai, the ship repair, conversion and building subsidiary of Dubai World, added another feather to its cap of achievements when it won British Safety Council’s globally respected Sword of Honour for the fifth successive year. The award is in recognition of the highest safety standards the company has established with a pro-active safety management system.

Designed to encourage and reward organisations that work to set best practice in health and safety, the Sword of Honour is the most prestigious international health and safety accolade that a company can receive. Only 40 swords are awarded world-wide each year, making the winners elite organisations that boast first class health and safety systems and standards.

Nawal Saigal, Managing Director of Drydocks World- Dubai, received the award during a grand ceremony at Goldsmiths Hall in London on Nov.28, which was attended by senior corporate leaders and other dignitaries.
