Qatargas Emergency Response Division maintains International Fire accreditation

Doha: The Emergency Response (ER) Division at Qatargas Operating Company Limited (Qatargas) has received its reaccreditation from the US-based Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) of the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE).

The unanimous approval on this prestigious conferment as an ‘Accredited Agency’ followed a public hearing last week in Orlando, United States. Qatargas first received the CFAI accreditation in 2015 when it was the first entity in the Middle East, and the first industrial fire brigade in the world, to receive such status. Representatives of the ER Division, led by Hassan Jassim Abu Khamis, Emergency Response & Security Manager, received the accreditation certificate following a virtual hearing session with the Commission members.
