Dubai Investments Park opens its doors to the DED, Dubai Municipality and Dept. of Civil Defence

The campaign, which will take place every quarter, will witness a series of checks conducted by the authorities, to ensure that DIP and its tenants are diligently following all measures and regulations set down by them.

Checks will be conducted in all three zones of DIP - residential, commercial and industrial to ensure that all safety measures set down are being followed.

The safety measures inspected at labour camps include life safety requirements, reliability and readiness of fire-fighting equipments, and fire and emergency plan, whilst checks at the warehouses would look into aspects such as storage height, storage method and fire-fighting systems compatibility, besides life safety requirements.

Similarly, inspections conducted at DIP's industrial zone will cover areas such as operations safety requirements, reliability and readiness of fire-fighting and fire detection systems, life safety requirements, housekeeping, personal protective equipments, and worker safety and evacuation plan.

Licenses of all companies operating within DIP and companies that store their goods in warehouses within the development will be also be inspected.

Warehouses will also be checked to ensure that all safety measures are in place. The infrastructure within the development including fire hydrants and pipes will also be inspected.
