Kuwait Fire Force Conducts Safety Inspection in Jahra's Industrial Area

The Kuwait Fire Force recently carried out a safety inspection campaign in Jahra's industrial area, working in coordination with several government agencies. The campaign aimed to enforce compliance with fire safety regulations and reduce fire risks in the area.

During the inspection, a total of 28 industrial facilities were closed due to violations, while 46 others received official warnings. The specific violations found included lack of fire licenses and insurance, violations of safety and environmental standards, and electrical and mechanical safety deficiencies.

Fortunately, the safety inspection campaign did not result in any reported fires or major accidents.

It is unclear at this time how the closure of these industrial facilities may impact the local economy. The Kuwait Fire Force did not comment on this matter.

This safety inspection campaign is part of the Kuwait Fire Force's ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of the people and businesses in Kuwait. They will continue to work with government agencies to promote fire safety and prevent accidents in industrial areas across the country.
