While receiving the certificate from Guinness World Records, Al Raisi stressed that drawing the biggest flag of the UAE by means of human gathering wearing the safety helmets, "represents an image of loyalty and belonging to the nation and the leadership. It is a picture that signifies a human message reflecting the keenness of the Ministry of Interior (MoI) to maintain the security and safety of the society."

He noted that setting a new World Guinness Record shows the lasting desire in citizens and residents to ensure the establishment of policies based on the highest international standards in the field of occupational health and safety in the state.

Al Raisi added that in light of the development in various fields witnessed by the country, "the commitment of the government and the youth will continue to support the pivotal leading role of the UAE in the field of occupational health and safety."
