Ducab employees participated in the Global Autism Awareness Festival and Walk. Ducab always encourages its employees to take part in such activities because such causes are close to our hearts and we always want to help in any way that we can.

Dubai Cares organized a walk for education and members of the Ducab family were very eager to take part in this since the establishment is a huge supporter of education.

PowerOverFire was launched as an educational platform to raise awareness of fire safety and hazards that can potentially cause building fires. The program was launched with a roadshow in partnership with the UAE Civil Defence in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and has continued over the years with the most recent edition held, during which the Ducab PowerOverFire truck – a 40-foot branded mobile roadshow – hosted seminars during Middle East Electricity. The seminars focused on educating the industry, both locally and internationally, on the most up to date regulations and industry-approved cabling.

Ducab’s PowerOverFire truck travels the UAE distributing information to the general public, dealers and retailers in the electrical product supply chain. It features touch-screen kiosks and a classroom for seminars that raise fire safety awareness amongst attendees.

With an understanding of how important safe cables are in the prevention of building fires, Ducab has developed a range of fire resistant cables and wires that are LPCB approved. The company is a strong advocate for the use of appropriate, approved cables in building projects to ensure the safety of residents.

In celebration of the UAE’s Year of Giving, Ducab launched its Gift of Light project to encourage members of the public to share kind, positive sentiments, Ducab donated $2 to Salma Humanitarian Aid, an initiative by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, which provides long-life meals of 100% certified halal food to victims of man-made and natural disasters.Building the Nation

Emiratization is a crucial component of national success. Ducab is fully supportive of providing training and job opportunities to Emiratis, whose skills are developed for a wide range of positions within Ducab.

Work-Life Balance – Key to Employee Wellbeing & Business Profitability

Employee wellbeing is crucial to achieving business profitability, and Ducab thoroughly believes that taking care of employees will lead to more sustainable, positive results. Work-life balance is, therefore, something that Ducab takes very seriously, and efforts are made to ensure that not only is the workplace somewhere that employees feel comfortable and productive within, but somewhere that encourages them to unwind and fulfil their potential, both vocationally and personally. Football tournaments, for example, are one of the ways in which Ducab combines team-building and leisure.

Just as important as work-life balance is creating a safe working environment for employees. Ducab is committed to safety, and has a robust health and safety management system that is OHSAS 18001-certified. It is instilled within all Ducab employees that safety must always come first, in everything they do. As a testament to the company’s high safety standards, it has been the recipient of the Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents UK (RoSPA) safety, as well as having received a Safety at Work Award from Dubai Municipality.
