New Sharjah committee to reduce warehouse fire risk; severe penalties for violations

Sharjah will set up a committee to control and remove violations, and reduce fire risk, in commercial and industrial warehouses.

The committee will conduct comprehensive inspection tours in all warehouses to assess the extent of compliance of the facilities with safety and safety standards.

Preventive measures to reduce the incidence and recurrence of fires include imposing severe penalties on those who do not comply with preventive standards and storing hazardous and flammable substances.
