The medical team at Drydocks World has organised an event to celebrate the successful completion of collaborative research with Imperial College London.

The event was attended by Abdulrahman Al Saleh, Chairman of Drydocks World, and by Dr. CS Kim, Drydocks World’s President and COO and senior members of the faculty.

Dr. Omar Hasan, Chief Medical Officer Drydocks World Dubai, expressed his pride in this collaborative effort. His presentation touched upon the evolution of occupational health in Drydocks World Dubai and various successful programmes run by the organisation.

His presentation was followed by Professor Paul Cullinan from Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London.

He summarised findings of the research which indicates that there were no measurable ill effects on the cardiorespiratory health of welders in the yard. The next phase of research will examine the risks of respiratory infections in steel welders. The collaboration has proved so far to be both successful and useful, a credit to the hard work of both research teams.

Abdulrahman Al Saleh commended the medical teams and expressed his support for future academic endeavors between the partners. Their success will have a positive impact on the global maritime industry.

In 2013 Drydocks World signed an agreement on joint research with Imperial College (the ‘WELSHIP’ programme). Their joint purpose was to undertake a programme of high quality research on the acute and chronic cardio-respiratory health outcomes in steel welders at the facility.
