Compliance to Law & Industry Standards
Operating in multiple countries around the world challenges the DOF group to stay abreast of governmental regulations in both national and local levels.
DOF personnel and subcontractors are required to comply with applicable legislation, regulations and standards as well as client’s requirements in every work function or activity. The legislation, standards, codes of practice and guidelines register provides a list of applicable requirements.

Identified non-compliances are to be addressed by corrective measures. When DOF operates in areas where legal requirements are weak, all operations are to follow our policies and operational standards.
