Abu Dhabi Emirate Environment

The Government of Abu Dhabi Emirate is committed to protecting and conserving the environment, and to protecting and promoting health and safety for all inhabitants of the Abu Dhabi Emirate.

As the Consultants for the Abu Dhabi Emirate Environment, Health and Safety Management System (EHSMS) Project, GHD has been working with the Abu Dhabi Environment Agency (EAD) since early 2007, to develop the EHSMS Regulatory Framework and associated Environmental Quality Standards and Technical Guidelines associated with water, land, air, noise, waste, biodiversity and health and safety.

In addition, GHD has been working for other clients on environmental impact assessment (EIA) projects and development of construction environmental management plans (CEMP’s) for a number of developments in Abu Dhabi. These projects have allowed GHD to gain a strong productive working relationship with EAD and a robust understanding of their environmental and permitting requirements and processes.

Environmental audits can identify opportunities to avoid or minimise environmental impacts, minimise risk of environmental fines, and reduce energy, water and other resource use. GHD has conducted audits for industries such as mining, oil and gas, waste, defence and agriculture.
