Abu dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE) has launched an awareness campaign under the theme ”Your Safety is Our Priority”, as part of its ongoing commitment to promoting public safety and the safe, responsible consumption of resources. The campaign targets various community groups, including individuals and companies, with the objective of raising awareness on the prevention of electricity and gas-related risks – particularly during the summer, when high temperatures lead to increased reliance on electrical power.
According to Emirates News Agency, Eng Ahmed Alsayed Mohamed Sheebani, Executive Director of the Regulatory Affairs Petroleum Products Sector at the DoE, emphasized the importance of safety in energy use as a fundamental aspect of their regulatory framework. He noted that the campaign aims to enhance community awareness of best practices and encourage safer, more sustainable behavior in energy use. This initiative aligns with Abu Dhabi’s vision to build an efficient and secure energy sector that serves both people and the environment. Eng Abdul Rahman Al-Alawi, Health, Safety, and Environment Director at the DoE, also highlighted the growing difficulties related to energy usage during summer. He stressed the department’s role in fostering a safe and sustainable environment through continuous outreach and education.
A key focus of the campaign is to provide essential information that helps Abu Dhabi residents safely manage electrical appliances and gas systems throughout the summer. To achieve this, the campaign will include the distribution of digital awareness materials via social media and websites, as well as the organisation of workshops and visits in collaboration with partners from both the public and private sectors. This approach is designed to ensure that the campaign’s messages reach the widest possible audience.
The DoE has called on all residents and establishments in the emirate to actively engage with the campaign and take part in its events. The DoE reiterated that safety is a collective responsibility, beginning at home and extending to every workplace. It also highlighted the importance of following campaign updates and daily tips shared on DoE’s official social media channels and website.
