HSE Awareness: “Line of Fire”

At Douglas OHI, the safety and wellbeing of our employees is at the heart of everything we do. As part of our commitment to fostering a proactive health, safety, sustainability and environmental (HSSE) culture, our Abu Dhabi based team focused on the critical topic of “Line of Fire.”

The campaign is designed to educate employees about the risks and hazards of being in the path of moving objects, equipment or energy sources at the workplace. Its objective is simple but vital: to equip our workforce with the knowledge and tools to recognise potential dangers, take preventative measures, and make safety an instinctive part of every task.

Through interactive workshops, practical demonstrations, and clear communication materials, employees explored real-life scenarios and learned to assess their environment, identify hazards, and implement control measures. By highlighting common “line of fire” risks, including moving machinery, falling objects, and pressurised equipment, the campaign reinforced that vigilance and awareness are the first steps toward accident prevention.

Douglas OHI’s leadership played a central role, engaging directly with teams to emphasise the importance of safe behaviours and personal accountability. By combining education, engagement, and hands-on learning, the campaign ensures that safety is not just a policy but a shared responsibility embedded in our daily operations.

“Line of Fire” is more than a campaign; it forms part of our broader HSSE strategy, reflecting our commitment to zero incidents, operational excellence, and a culture where every employee feels empowered to act safely. By proactively addressing risks and promoting awareness, Douglas OHI demonstrates that safety, wellbeing, and operational efficiency go hand in hand.

Initiatives like this reinforce that protecting our people is the foundation of everything we build, ensuring a safer, more productive, and responsible workplace for all.
