The Background Story
Empteezy UAE fze is part of a bigger family of companies which all started with, what was then a small company called Empteezy Ltd, based in Livingston, Scotland, UK back in 1986.
That company was then primarily focused on helping other companies to look after their environment, which in turn protected them under new legislation. Its values haven’t changed much. However, since then, that company grew to include representation in countries around the world, from Scotland to England, France, Belgium and Spain, to Hong Kong, and of course, Empteezy UAE fze right here on your doorstep in the United Arab Emirates.
From 2006, Empteezy UAE fze, based in Hamriyah Free Zone in Sharjah, has been supplying environmental safety and storage products to companies through the Gulf region. We provide our own manufactured products, and those from our trusted suppliers: Justrite Manufacturing Company LLC and Speakman Company of the USA, and Chemisafe of Italy.
For products to keep your workplace safe and clean, and your environment protected, you’ve found the right place...
The Law and You! Keeping one step ahead of the
law is important. Particularly if
you’re storing and using
products such as oils, paints
and chemicals. Even more so,
is making sure that your staff
are safe in their workplace.
We at Empteezy UAE fze
provide own manufactured
products to fill these needs.

same.

Berms are quite a new, unique product range which we offer from Justrite®. They are a portable solution to capture
spills that may arise through everyday activity and unexpected leakage. They also provide a temporary storage
solution for hazardous chemicals, oils and/or paints. Normally manufactured from a PVC coated fabric, this range
comes with the patented rigid lock deployment, that provides support to the installation. Easily cleaned down for
re-use at a later stage, berms are particularly useful for emergency deployment due to their quick and easy set-up
with no assembly required. Simply fold-out the berm over the designated area and you have an instantly usable
workspace.

Containment Booms
Permanent Booms are robust and hard-wearing
with foam-filled HDPE (high density polyethylene)
floats providing flexibility in the boom. Permanent
booms can contain not only hydrocarbons, but
floating waste as well, making them ideal for use
in harbours and coastal locations.
Fence Booms are lightweight and easy to use,
these portable booms take up little storage space.
The booms are portable, can be stored on a reel
and are good for shallow areas, rather than deep
sea deployment.
Air Booms are more suitable for open waters due
to their buoyancy. These booms are easy to
transport, often by air, to the location of the spill.
Manufactured from Polyurethane and Neoprene.
Permanent Booms are UV resistant. They are
quick to set up and easy to deploy. Manufactured
from PVC or natural rubber with variable drafts.
Air Booms are UV
resistant and chemical
resistant to acids and
alkalis, solvents and
hydrocarbons. They
have a ratio of 30:1
buoyancy to weight.
A complete range of skimmers, pumps and power packs
available to complement containment boom products.

With an assortment of products directly suited to looking after the safety of any
of your employees working with hazardous substances, Speakman® showers
and eye-wash units are a necessity in your workplace.
Safety showers can be plumbed, or purchased as portable units. Portable units
are particularly suitable for places where there is no access to a potable water
source as they do not need to plumbing. Showers can be offered with a
hands-free foot treadle option for a direct deluge of water.
Emergency eye wash stations are a quick
way to flush out any harmful chemicals or
solvents from the infected area. The
impellor action of the flow, softens the
water and provides an effective drench for
the eyes.

units to include a basin and eye wash
station. Basins come in both stainless
steel or ABS plastic, which are specified
