Hind Al Falasi, Relations Manager at aswaaq said:

“Educating our staff about fire safety awareness and prevention is of prime importance at aswaaq. Knowing what to do in case of an emergency can make all the difference. We organized this workshop to remind our employees that fires can happen in any place at any time and to install a sense of responsibility amongst our staff that we can all play a key role in keeping our community safe.”

Mohammed Kalil, Corporal at DCD added:

“Officials in public places must ensure that safety equipment, especially fire alarms, extinguishers etc are working at all times and that workers are familiar with evacuation plans and procedures. In addition, clear “exit” signs and emergency exits are a must.”
