RTA has earned a five-star rating in the Occupational Health and Safety Audit from the British Safety Council.

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has received a five-star rating from the British Safety Council for its commitment to occupational health and safety standards and practices in various work environments, construction sites, and operational activities.

This achievement showcases RTA's dedication to optimizing occupational health and safety and is in line with the third objective of RTA's Strategic Plan 2023-2030. This objective aims to enhance mobility safety, provide a secure environment for the community, support transport integration, ensure safe and flexible transport, and strengthen business continuity in the Emirate of Dubai.

Nada Jasim, Director of the Safety, Risk Regulations and Planning Department, Strategy, and Institution Governance Sector at RTA, emphasized that the five-star rating reflects RTA's commitment to excellence and sustainability in implementing the latest occupational health and safety management practices. It proves the effectiveness of strategies and initiatives to continuously improve health and safety systems and related procedures across all sites and operations.

The rating was based on an assessment of 57 elements of occupational health and safety management at RTA, an audit of 5 separate best practice indicators, and inspection visits to 14 operational sites across RTA's agencies and sectors. This comprehensive evaluation resulted in a score of 96%, surpassing the minimum requirement of 92 percent to achieve the five-star rating.

Additionally, RTA received a five-star rating from the British Safety Council for best practices in Occupational Health, Safety Management Systems, and Environmental Management Systems, exceeding the target set since the first submission was made in 2018.
