Humaid Bin Deemas, assistant undersecretary at the ministry, said that the ministry would set the standards for health and safety regulations by 2008.
“Standardising health and safety requirements is one of our main objectives for 2008. These standards have to be followed by all companies in the country; even those in the free zones areas,” said Deemas. Source
