DISPLAYING ITEMS BY TAG: Safety Control

As temperatures soar in the summer, it is important that all Jafza tenants take the necessary precautions to reduce fire risks.

To ensure safety, please follow these guidelines:

1. Avoid accumulating waste materials under direct sunlight near to office / warehouse premises.
2. Regularly check air conditioning units and all other electrical appliances, especially during summer identify and fix any issues.
3. Never leave mobile phones charging overnight inside warehouses or offices.
4. Don't leave exhaust fans running for long periods, especially during the summer.
5. Ensure fire extinguishers are inspected regularly and in serviceable condition.
6. Practice an emergency drill with your teams to familiarise them with emergency procedure during a fire incident.

Reporting procedure: Tenants must notify the authorities (EHS PCFC and Jafza) regarding any unsafe conditions or activities that pose a potential fire risk for timely intervention and corrective action.

Hot work operations must comply with the NFPA 51B standard for Fire Prevention During Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work.

Each Jafza tenant must designate a Programme Manager responsible for the fire prevention programme to make sure it is carried out effectively.

No Smoking Policy: Must be strictly enforced inside warehouses, factory units and all applicable facilities within Jafza. An adequate number of no-smoking sign should be posted at prominent locations.

Wherever smoking is permitted, safe receptacles for smoking materials must be provided.

Handling & Storage of hazardous material: - Tenants must obtain approval from competent authority (EHS PCFC) for handling and storing hazardous materials, including the quantity to be stored.

Tenants must also prioritise accident prevention through regular risk assessment and safety audits.

Important: Electrical short-circuits and unsafe storage of combustible materials are common causes of fire incidents. Tenants should address these risks by installing overcurrent protective devices, switches, circuit breakers, and ensuring proper electrical load distribution.

As part of our ongoing commitment to safety within Jafza, all tenants are reminded about fire protection requirements.

Fire Protection Systems:All tenants must have appropriate fire protection systems installed, as required by local building Fire codes and safety regulations.

Maintenance: If already installed, please ensure that you have a valid and attested DCD annual maintenance contract in place, and that the system is regularly inspected and maintained by DCD-approved contractor.

Connection to DCD 24x7 Monitoring:All fire protection systems must be connected to Dubai Civil Defence’s (DCD) 24x7 Smart Monitoring System. This enables real-time alerts to authorities, ensuring faster emergency response.

Due to ongoing construction works for the Jebel Ali Rail Terminal outside Jebel Ali Gate 1 and 2, we will be implementing traffic adjustments and road diversions starting 26 August 2024, for a period of approximately 18 months. These changes are to support the construction activities and maintain a smooth flow of traffic.

Key changes:

• Exit for Light Vehicles and Buses

The exit route for light vehicles and buses will be diverted through a new route outside Jebel Ali Gate 2.

• Heavy Truck Diversion – Exit

All heavy trucks currently exiting from Gate 1 and 2 will be diverted to Jebel Ali Gate 7, Gate 8, and South Zone Gates 10 and 11, to avoid congestion.

• Fuel Tankers for Refineries (ENOC/EPPCO & Emarat)

Fuel tankers to and from refineries will be redirected through Jebel Ali Cargo Gate 3. Please follow the indicated signage for this route.
