These efforts come as part of the periodic inspection campaigns that are implemented on all economic establishments operating in the emirate and executed by a qualified team of Commercial Officers form SEDD and in cooperation with Sharjah Civil Defence Authority, and included the various cities and regions of Sharjah.
Commenting on that, Sultan Abdullah bin Hadda Al Suwaidi, SEDD Chairman, said that the specialized teams in the Department are working continuously to ensure the provision of an ideal economic environment with a high culture of awareness and impartiality in the buying and selling procedures in all economic sectors, following the highest international standards and practices. He explained that these results confirm the active role played by the Department to ensure the safety of all economic practices in the emirate's markets and to enhance the economic and commercial position of Sharjah.
Also, He pointed out that the replacement of these gas cylinders comes in order to protect the emirate's markets from commercial fraud, stressing that the Department will continue to play its role to protect society from those who try to harm its members and make quick profits. HE added that the Department always seeks to promote consumer culture by educating consumers and investors about their rights and duties, in order to preserve the economic and commercial status of the emirate.
On the other hand, Colonel Sami Khamis Al Naqbi, the Director General of Sharjah Civil Defence, illustrated that the Authority works continuously to protect lives and property and implement the highest standards of safety and fire prevention. Therefore, it has cooperated with SEDD in removing such gas cylinders from the markets because expired ones pose a danger to everyone who uses them as they are liable to explode at any time. He pointed out that inspection teams carry out periodic and unannounced inspection campaigns on facilities and vehicles transporting LPG cylinders to ensure their compliance with safety and prevention requirements in various regions of Sharjah. Such thing is done to control all negative practices in the circulation of these cylinders. He emphasized that legal measures and violations have been taken against establishments that do not comply with the requirements of prevention and safety. Additionally, HE said expressed that the Authority calls the public to report any negative practices in handling gas cylinders, and to ensure the validity of the cylinder before using it.
From its side, SEDD emphasized on vital role of consumers to help control any cases of commercial manipulation or fraud, by reporting these cases. Likely, the Department stressed on the impotance of communicating with it in the event of any violation through 80080000 or by visiting the Department's official website www.sedd.ae, as part of the active participation in monitoring the markets.
