EQUATE Group partners with Kuwait Fire Force on new home safety campaign

HSE

EQUATE Group initiated a home safety awareness campaign this month to continue its decade-long support of the Kuwait Fire Force (KFF) as part of its commitment to the health, safety and wellbeing of the communities in which it operates

The initiative runs from 16-31 March 2022, and includes information stands in The Avenues Mall and the University of Kuwait to increase awareness and understanding of potential fire hazards in home and how to ensure safety measures are followed.

EQUATE’s sponsorship includes participation by its Emergency Response Team (ERT) responsible for health and safety at the global petrochemical company, who will be present on the stands to share information and actively support KFF teams. The organisation has also donated vital safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, fire blankets and smoke detectors for distribution on the stands.   

EQUATE vice president, Nawaf Al-Khaldi said, “Kuwait’s Fire Force provides a critical service in keeping both community and industry safe in our homes and work environments, and EQUATE is proud to have been helping to promote its safety initiatives for more than 10 years. We hope that this new campaign will help our community to become more aware of potential hazards in the home, learn what measures should be taken to prevent accidents from happening, and what to do should a situation occur.”

The KFF education booths will be located in the Phase II at The Avenues Mall from 16-23 March, and from 28-31 March in Kuwait University.
