Boecker®, the Middle East’s largest public health company, brings over two decades of experience in pest management, food safety and biosecurity solutions to the annual Gulfood Manufacturing Exhibition. The three-day event takes place in Dubai from 31st October to 2nd November.
The company is set to introduce its newly designed certification programme named OHS LiteTM. The programme was tailor-made to service the F&B industry and address occupational health and safety concerns in the workplace. The Certification is assured by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) in the UK and approved by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA).
Commenting on OHS Lite™, Boecker® UAE Country Manager Mr. AbdulHadi Chalak said, “According to reports from the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention, nearly 55 percent of the federal government’s expenditure on treatment of non-communicable diseases is spent on employee-related illnesses and diseases. This results in an annual 44 percent productivity loss. Boecker designed its OHS LiteTM certification programme to audit and train employees on the basis of occupational health and safety. This will enhance their working conditions and improve their level of compliance with international standards.”
Boecker will also highlight its comprehensive Pest Manag-ement services for business and industrial premises, in addition to its Infection Control PlanTM (ICPTM), an on-site professional disinfecting service that safely & effectively eliminates microorganisms & provides a long-term sanitized environment.
