THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU ON THE CELEBRATION OF
“THE GROUP’S” 10TH ANNIVERSARY.
From humble beginnings in 2002 we set up our business in Dubai with a handful of talented and loyal employees. Today “The Group” proudly comprises Ten operational facilities globally which employs more than 125 people and the Group’s worldwide reach continues to grow with new operations being commissioned this year in Malta, the United State of America, India and a second facility in China. This would mean our presence in five continents.
We will continue to improve and incorporate the best industry standards.
All this is due to the tremendous efforts of our team who have worked together to deliver high quality products and services which reflect the core values and principles our company has been built upon. Year after year, we receive compliments from our customers praising the team and the way in which we operate. We are known to work in a respectful and efficient manner, I hope we continue to work in this way and maximize customer satisfaction.
There are many challenges ahead. We will continue to promote the safety of our employees, expand our capabilities and develop new skills to increase our efficiency to meet the standard of excellence that we are endeavoring towards.
Looking to the future, The Global Gases Group will continue to increase its footprint worldwide and remain a strategic industry player. I wish to thank all who have joined me on this journey, because without you the success we enjoy today would not have been possible.

Preventing Workplace Fatigue Your personal Responsibility is important when preventing workplace fatigue
Thousands of people each day feel the effects of fatigue while at work. Fatigue is a tired, exhausted state that occurs when the body lacks the sufficient amount of sleep. You can also suffer from fatigue after working long hours or a stressful situation.
We should be concerned with preventing fatigue in the workplace because it can cause so many accidents to occur by preventing fatigue in the
workplace you can be sure of a healthy and happy environment for everyone.
Workplace fatigue can be fatal or can result in accidents and serious injuries to yourself and your colleagues. Ensure that you and your colleagues recognising the symptoms.
When working day in and night out, we tend ignore how you feel and behave. Are there any negative or Bad Mood? Slips, Lapse and mistakes or memory becomes worse. Repeating yawning, rubbing eyes or difficulty keeping eyes open and head nodding.
If you or your colleagues have this symptom, you need to be careful. Your personal responsibility is always getting something to drink; hydration can lead to black out. Next, ensure you eat appropriately and at the right times. You must take proper breaks and rest as necessary.
What Are the Possible Causes Of Fatigue
Fatigue can be caused by a number of things below is a list of the most common causes for fatigue at work.
1. Sleep Apena is a condition that causes a person’s breathing to be interrupted while they are sleeping. This disruption will often cause the person to awake several times during the night. So their sleep cycle is constantly interrupted.
2. Insomnia is when a person has trouble either falling asleep or staying asleep through the night. The lack of sleep is the number one cause
of fatigue. 3. Caffeine can also cause fatigue. Drinking coffee or soft drinks late at night could make it harder to fall asleep and get a full nights rest. 4. Poor Exercise Routine can make a person feel fatigued. When your body is not fit there and hundreds of ways it can show. Fatigue is one
of these symptoms.
How Does Fatigue Effect Your Ability to Work What Are the Symptoms Of Fatigue At Work
Effects your ability to make decisions
Slows your reaction time
Can cause errors in judgement
Increases forgetfulness
Use of more sick days
Reduced productivity
Headaches
Weakness
Muscle Pain
Dizziness
Loss of appetite
Blurry vision
Short term memory loss
Poor hand-eye coordination
Difficulty concentrating
irritability
Preventing Fatigue At Work
There are certain things you can do to help prevent fatigue at work. The list below will help you prevent any accidents from fatigue while you are at work.
Keep the lights turned on. Make sure the lights are on all the way. Dim lighting will increase your fatigue while a brightly lit room will
help you stay alert.
Turn the heat down. A little chill in the room will work wonders to keep you awake. When your body is warm it naturally begins to feel
sleepy.
Get up and move around. Sitting in a chair or doing one task all day will make you feel even more tired than you already are.
Eat but don’t over eat. Some fresh fruit or a light snack will help boost your energy without giving you the groggy full feel ing of a large meal.
Avoid drinking Caffeine. While it will make you awake and alert for a short time the effects are short lived. Once the caffeine and sugar has worn of you will crash and be even more tired than before.
If you have windows in your office that can be opened they should be. The fresh air and natural sunlight are great stimulants. They will instantly boost your mood and energy.
Take a break. Get up and move around or just give your body a chance to relax. All that matters is you are not working and that you
are relaxed.
If you are already feeling fatigued do not push yourself. Try not to overload your mind or body.
If you are truly feeling fatigued tell your boss. They should either allow you an extended break to get some rest or send you home. It is not worth the risk involved to keep an employee on that may fall asleep or have trouble concentrating.
