Saving Ozone: SCE, Tamkeen sign training deal

Manama : In line with Bahrain’s commitment to phase out ozone-depleting substance, the Supreme Council for Environment (SCE) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Labour Fund “Tamkeen” to train technicians working in the cooling and conditioning field on the European F-gas Regulation.

The move is aimed at spreading the best practices in cooling and air conditioning maintenance as well as to prevent the emission of ozone-depleting gases.

“This agreement embodies the social partnership between the different public institutions and the industrial and service sectors, within an initiative that aims to better serve the community,” said Chief Executive of the Supreme Council for Environment, Dr Mohammed Mubarak Bin Dainah.

The deal, Dr Bin Dainah, said is a strategic step towards Bahrain’s contribution towards phasing-out ozone-depleting substances.

Tamkeen’s Chief Executive Dr Ebrahim Mohammed Janahi stressed, “This training meets the developmental aims of the Kingdom in light of the best practices, which will positively impact each of the economic and environmental aspects.”
