This award is presented to all employees at different
levels of responsibility and expertise who have
worked as a team for the benefit of ZADCO, and to
those who have been here for thirty years it is surely a

task due to the social factor of separation from families
and loved ones. Despite all these difficulties, you have
achieved your job in high degree of professionalism
and awareness of HSE regulations.
It is customary on these occasions to evaluate
the success made last year and to highlight our
achievements. We should be proud of achievements
we accomplished so far.
I would also like to highlight few points regarding
health and safety issues. Today we mark 1,932 days

saying: "As we are also facing a tough challenge of
upcoming shutdown task. Your long time experience

2012 ENVIRONMENTAL CAMPAIGN
"LIVING DESERT"
Mussafah Offshore Supply Base - LG Division
On 4th February, 2012, the UAE
celebrated the 15th National
Environment Day 2012 with the
theme "Living Desert", under
the auspices of H.H. Sheikh
Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
President
of
the
United
Arab Emirates and Ruler of
Abu Dhabi. Celebrations aimed
at educating the public on the
importance of conserving the
UAE's natural heritage, and protecting the desert from
pollution, specially the adverse impacts of plastic bags
on the desert.
In line with the above, H.H. Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed
Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs,initiated the
"Desert Clean-up Campaign", across the UAE.
A joint environmental campaign amongst sister
companies, namely ADMA-OPCO, TOTAL ABK,
BUNDUQ, ESNAAD and ZADCO was successfully
conducted on 6th February, 2012 at Mussafah
Offshore Supply Base - LG Division, in the presence
of Management representatives of the five above
mentioned companies.
The objectives of this campaign were as follows:
• Continuity of leadership message towards
preservation and protection of environment.
• Progress of achieved environment structural
build-up.
• Enhancement of the public worksites environmental
practices.
• Boosting and demonstration of the concept of
environment care and protection.
The campaign program started with HSE Statement,
mop-up of the site facilities and mitigation of wasted
material were conducted.
Three presentations were made by LG Manager,
entitled "Desert Clean-up Campaign", by Abu Dhabi
Environment Agency Representative, entitled "UAE
Desert" and by Ministry of Environment and Water
Representative, entitled "Living Desert".
These were followed by a quiz session related to the
subject.
At the end of the ceremony, certificates, gifts and
mementoes were distributed to active participants, in
appreciation to their efforts, and commemorating this
special event.
Clean-up Campaign organized by ZADCO
Zakum Development Company (ZADCO), in collaboration with the
Municipality of Abu Dhabi City and the center of waste management,
has organized a clean-up campaign in the manors' area of Al Wathba
Desert in order to raise environmental awareness and preservation
of the desert.
In compliance with the directives of H.H. Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed
Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, and as part of the
campaign launched by the Environment Agency in Abu Dhabi under
the theme of "Vibrant Desert", a presentation has been made to raise
awareness among participants on necessary precautions required
to be observed during the campaign to safeguard their safety and
health.
The strategic goal of the campaign was to preserve the cleanliness
of the desert, raise awareness among the youth, encourage the
public hygiene, raise public awareness of ways to dispose of waste,
minimize littering, especially plastic materials due to its negative
impact on the wild and primitive life, and to promote the value and
the positive image of the desert among its frequent visitors.

Back ground:
Water is a vital natural element in life. Preserving
water is considered by many as a serious challenge.
A pioneer experiment has been conducted by fitting
a simple aerator saving device of 3 liter and 6 liter
capacity inside all cabins, common toilets and kitchens
at the UAD platform.
Umm Al Dalkh (UAD) field is an offshore facilities
originally designed to cater for 40 persons living on
part of the platform equipped with necessary utilities
to accommodate for that limited number.
Recently, particularly in 2010/2011, the ongoing
development required similar increase in the number
of persons-on-board (POB)
POB was increased during the day time activities to
about 160 and during the night activities to 110. This
is due to the ongoing planned projects for UAD field
development to sustain the oil productivity. Such
increase in activities would see a matching increase in
daily water consumption.
Objectives of fitting water saving device:
• To ensure the continuous supply of the Reverse
Osmosis (RO) unit with adequate amount of water
supply for POB, kitchen facilities and laundry etc...
• Minimize amount of power required for pumping
water and other chemical consumption.
• Eliminate the need for extra water storage units at
UAD for the near future.
• Reduce the emission of carbon dioxide (as a result
of reduced power consumption)
Features of the aerator saving device:
Aerator is a simple device which can be fitted inside
the water tap. This mechanism allows air to mix with
water in typical proportion which results in reducing
water flow rate from tap by 35% without noticeable
effect on users.
The device comes in two storage capacity of 3 liters
and 6 liters.

Fruits of Ramadan
There are many meanings and secrets behind the noble worship of fasting, the first being that fasting makes
individuals accustom to worship and submission to the Almighty Allah who will be observed at all times as well
as dedication to work and to avoid hypocrisy.
Fasting also habituate oneself to patience, strength of will and determination, patience is truly manifested in
fasting. Fasting also educates society, promotes unity and solidarity amongst Muslims. The fasting person feels
the sense of belonging to the society when he observes others fasting. He feels related to that society where all
are enjoying obeying Allah.
Fasting makes us feel what hungry and poor people are going through whereas we may not remember them
otherwise.
Recommended deeds in Ramadan
To break the fast quickly on time and start breakfast with dates and water. To break the fasting in two phases while
accelerating Maghreb prayer and to avoid overeating and sleeping immediately after breakfast. To quit smoking
during and after Ramadan. To eat the Suhoor (before dawn meal) as recommended by the prophet (PBUH). To
brush teeth with Miswak (Salvadora persica) for cleaner and healthier teeth and gum and pray Taraweeh which
is a healthy prayer that also involves a simple physical exercise. To do your work properly as with little effort the
fasting person is capable of performing his work perfectly in Ramadan, and eventually ask Allah for good health.
May Allah accept our good Deeds

MEDICAL
COLORECTAL CANCER
Colorectal cancer, commonly known as bowel cancer,
is a cancer resulting from uncontrolled cell growth in the
colon, rectum, or appendix. Symptom typically includes
rectal bleeding and anemia which are sometimes
associated with weight loss and changes in bowel
habits.
Diagnosis of colorectal cancer is via tumor biopsy
typically done during sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy.
The extend of the disease is usually determined by a CT
scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. There are other
potential imaging test such as PET and MRI which may
be used in certain cases.
Most colorectal cancer occurs due to lifestyle and
increasing age with only a minority of cases associated
with underlying genetic disorders. It typically starts in the
lining of the bowel and if left untreated, can grow into the
muscle layers underneath, and then through the bowel
wall. Screening is effective at decreasing the chance
of dying from colorectal cancer and is recommended
starting at the age of 50 and continuing until a person
is 75 years old. Localized bowel cancer is usually
diagnosed through sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy.
Prevention
Cancers that are confined within the wall of the colon are
often curable with surgery while cancer that has widely
spread around the body is usually not curable and
management then focuses on extending the person's
life via chemotherapy and improving quality of life.
Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed
cancer in the world, but it is more common in developed
countries. Around 60% of cases were diagnosed in
the developed world. It is estimated that, in 2008, 1.24
million new cases of colorectal cancer were clinically
diagnosed, and that it killed 610,000 people.
Medication
Signs and symptoms
The symptoms and signs of colorectal cancer depend
on the location of tumor in the bowel, and whether it has
spread elsewhere in the body (metastasis). The classic
warning signs include: worsening constipation, blood in
the stool, weight loss, fever, loss of appetite, and nausea
or vomiting in someone over 50 years old. While rectal
bleeding or anemia are high risk features in those over
the age of 50, other commonly descriptive symptoms
include weight loss and change in bowel habit are
typically only concerning if associated with bleeding.
Cause
Family history in two or more first degree relatives have
a two greater risk of disease and this group accounts for
while about 20% of all cases. Some risk factors such as
older age and male gender cannot be changed, many
can. A high fat, alcohol or red meat intake are risk factors
for colorectal cancer as well as obesity, smoking and a
lack of physical exercise. The risk of alcohol appears
to increase at greater than one drink per day. People
with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and
Crohn's disease) are at increased risk of colon cancer.
Diagnosis
Appearance of the inside of the colon showing one
invasive colorectal carcinoma (the crater-like, reddish,
irregularly shaped tumor).
Zadco
APRIL - MAY - JUNE 2012
Most colorectal cancers can be prevented by:
Lifestyle
Current dietary recommendations to prevent colorectal
cancer include increasing the consumption of whole
grains, fruits and vegetables, and reducing the intake of
red meat. The evidence for fiber, fruits and vegetables
however, is poor. Physical activities can moderately
reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
Aspirin and celecoxib appear to reduce the risk of
colorectal cancer for those at high risk. However it is
not recommended for those at average risk. Vitamin D
intake and blood levels are associated with a lower risk
of colon cancer.
Screening
More than 80% colorectal cancers arise from
adenomatous polyps making this cancer amenable
to screening. The three main screening tests are fecal
occult blood testing, flexible sigmoidoscopy and
colonoscopy. Fecal occult blood testing of the stool is
typically recommended every two years. In the United
States screening is recommended between the age of
50 and 75 years with sigmoidoscopy every 5 years and
colonoscopy every 10 years. It is believed that screening
has the potential to reduce colorectal cancer deaths by
60%.
Management
The treatment of colorectal cancer depends on how
advanced it is. When colorectal cancer is diagnosed
at early stage surgery can be curative. However, when
it is detected at later stages (metastases are present),
this is less likely and treatment is often directed more
at extending life and keeping people comfortable.

In Europe 5 year survival for colorectal cancer is less
