Dubai - Roads & Transport Authority:
As part of its continuous efforts to support working women in office or on site, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai, has endorsed a high-visibility Safety Jacket for all female staff undertaking field work at construction and operation project sites of the RTA. The step enhances the safety standards, addresses the privacy of women and showcases their roles while on the field. The move has been coordinated between the Traffic and Roads Agency and Women Committee of the RTA.
“The underlying objective of the Safety Jacket for female staff working at construction and operation sites of the RTA, especially during summer, is to achieve colour symmetry between the Safety Jacket and the theme of the working environment,” said Eng. Maitha bin Adai, CEO of Traffic and Roads Agency, RTA. “The aim is to make female staff more visible to others working on site, and minimise the potential risks to which they are liable while moving around. It is noteworthy that the Safety Jacket conforms to the corporate identity of the RTA,” she noted.
The uniform is a high-visibility pinkish safety jacket bearing the RTA logo along with a reflective tape compatible with the technical specifications of the British Standards BS EN 471 - Class 2 & 3. The Jacket can be used during events as well as official and site visits that do not require entering high-risk areas. It remains to be said that there are 761 female employees in the RTA, 57 of them are in leading positions, and 33 others are posted across field jobs.
