Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in collaboration with Keolis MHI (responsible for the operation and maintenance of Dubai Metro and operation of Dubai Tram), continues to promote operational excellence through a Risk Assessment Training Programme delivered in partnership with Bureau Veritas. The initiative embeds risk awareness as a unified culture shared by employees, contractors, and partners alike.
The three-month programme, conducted earlier this year, engaged more than 100 participants, including 20 UAE nationals. Participants represented various departments of the RTA and Keolis MHI, along with several main contractors.
The training programme consisted of six interactive sessions that brought together cross-functional teams in a comprehensive learning environment combining theoretical frameworks with practical application. Participants acquired essential knowledge of risk management concepts, the supporting policies and procedures, and methods of effectively communicating risks within their respective work environments.
The programme’s primary objective was to develop qualified personnel capable of analysing potential workplace hazards and assessing both the likelihood and severity of each risk. Participants then learned how to recommend effective measures to control, reduce, or eliminate risks, ensuring that safety is firmly established as a practical commitment rather than a mere policy.
Upon completion of the programme, participants were awarded internationally recognised certificates from Bureau Veritas, a leading global authority in assessment, testing, inspection, and certification. Established in Paris in 1828, Bureau Veritas has a presence in 140 countries worldwide.
