Guiding Principles
Positive Worldview of People
Arabtec believes that generally all employees have the drive to perform well. The Company trusts that every member of the organization maintains the highest standards of honesty and integrity, and promotes the value of hard work, cooperation and fairness. Given the proper motivation and guidance, EMS employees will excel in their line of work and bring honour to their profession. The Company begins with a positive outlook of its people. This trust leads to productivity.
Value of Positive Reinforcement
Affirmation is a strong morale booster for any individual. An employee regularly recommended for good performance is likely to work even harder. A good behaviour that is immediately recognized and rewarded stands a great chance of being repeated and developed into a positive habit.
Significance of Early Detection and Modification/Correction Early detection and modification/correction is the simplest approach to reduce unconstructive behaviors in the Company. It minimizes problems in the future as the employees attitude is dealt with before it could significantly affect the organization.

Quality Imperatives
Engineering Management services is committed to high quality standards and strongly believes that Quality starts with senior management and must involve all employees.
We feel our founding principle to be the best customer driven organization that meets or exceeds Customer expectation is the reason for our success.
In order to keep up with the pace of growth, and to provide consistent procedures across all projects and divisions, EMS has developed INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (IMS) Manuals and has also gained certification to (ISO 9001:2000 (since 2001), ISO 14001: 2004, and OHSAS 18001:2007 standards.
We strongly believe that, this can only be possible through the full commitment of our most valuable resource OUR PEOPLE.
Realizing each project carries its own special needs, we tailor a project specific Quality Control Plan for each project we undertake. Items such as workmanship, documentation, material storage, submittals, as-builds, and non-conformance work are all addressed. Detailed procedures for testing, and quality assurance are further addressed on specific areas of importance for each project.
Our Integrated Management Systems (IMS) have been developed using industry standards and ISO guidelines. An online subscription of relevant construction industry standards is an integral part of our operation to ensure that what we build is conforming to the latest standards.
Commitments to Quality
We strive to create the best value for our customers by delivering the most reliable and effective products for their business in the market place
Our commitments are to:
Continually monitor the quality of our projects through daily inspections and periodical internal and external audits. ensure strict compliance with standards and product specifications regularly assess the quality of our projects with respect to our customers requirements and other products in the market place and optimize our products accordingly ensure that employees are adequately trained on the importance of their activities in achieving high standards of quality performance identify and reduce the risks of quality incidents in our operation ensure continuous improvement of quality management at our operations by setting and reviewing measurable objectives and targets periodically review and revise our Integrated management system
HSE Imperatives
Long before the ISO and OHSAS 18001 2007 certifications, we continuously sought to always improve HSE practices. We have worked also, to efficiently incorporate our HSE moral and legal obligations for each and every work process. We are proud to say that our HSE achievements today are not only dependent on the steadfastness of the senior managements persistence towards a Zero Accident but also to the conscientious efforts of all employees that safety is everyones responsibility and being proactive in preventing incident is indeed a way of life.
We operate on the premise that all accidents are preventable and EMS will make every effort to identify HSE hazards, risks associated and control measures utilizing the three hierarchies of hazards control, which are:
- Elimination of the risk where possible
- Mitigating/ minimizing the risk by substitution, engineering control and/ or isolation.
- Where the risk cant be eliminated or minimized to an acceptable level, we employ administrative control and PPE
Rewords and recognition are used to motivate our teams where certificates and cash awards are given to HSE most conscious workers. We believe that, the backbone of our success is the collective effort of the entire team. All failures are taken as a challenge and WILL be dealt with very seriously.
We believe that our visitors, subcontractors, suppliers and clients are an extension of EMS family and their integration into our HSE system of work is essential. HSE induction is a mandatory for everyone before entering our sites. We are committed to educate/ train each employee in safe working practices. No person shall be required or instructed to work under conditions that are unsafe to his or her safety and health.
Each employee has a duty to report workplace unsafe Acts/Conditions or any situation may harm the environment and to take reasonable actions to alleviate such risks. To ensure implementations of a sound HSE system, EMS safety team will conduct daily, weekly and monthly inspections along with consultants and project management team.
Furthermore, a full system audit will be carried out quarterly by EMS Head Office HSE Department and externally by an ISO approved agency such as QMS every Six (6) months (requirements of our ISO certification).
We strongly believe that Proactiveness and providing required and appropriate support are essential elements to our HSE approach that has resulted in saving lives, monetary gains, public image, respect and recognition. Needless to say, our overall safety performance Severity and Incident rates are below any published statistics.
