SEDD organizes 4,790 Inspection Campaigns on Industrial Areas during May

Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD) has intensified its inspection campaigns on industrial facilities in the emirate during May. These campaigns aim to ensure that facilities adhere to approved procedures, regulations, and applicable laws. Such campaigns come in cooperation with Sharjah City Municipality and Sharjah Civil Defence under the slogan (Industrial Facilities Safety is Everyone's Responsibility).

Therefore, SEDD organized 4,790 inspection campaigns targeting various industrial areas in the emirate, as part of its ongoing efforts to regulate the business environment and enhance economic establishments' compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Commenting on that, Salim Ahmed Al Suwaidi, Acting Director of Commercial Control and Protection Department at SEDD, said that these campaigns are part of the Department's comprehensive plan to enhance oversight of economic establishments and ensure their compliance with the laws and regulations governing commercial activity. He added that such campaigns have contributed to raising awareness among business owners of the importance of adhering to the legislation and have contributed to reducing violations and illegal practices.

Al Suwaidi added: "We affirm our continued implementation of periodic inspection campaigns across various areas of the emirate, which goes in line with the Department's objectives of creating a safe investment environment, providing consumer protection, and supporting business sustainability according to the highest standards."

Furthermore, SEDD called on business owners to fully comply with applicable laws and regulations and cooperate with inspection teams, stressing that any violations detected will be addressed in accordance with approved legal procedures.

Additionally, SEDD affirmed its continued efforts to maintain the requirements and conditions of signboards in Sharjah, especially with regard to the integrity of the Arabic language, through “Together We Protect Our Language” service. This service aims to encourage citizens and residents to play their role in protecting the Arabic language by contributing to reporting linguistic errors on commercial signboards. In addition, the Department is constantly keen to organize number of awareness workshops and seminars for its employees with the aim of ensuring the use of correct Arabic in all economic practices in the emirate. Likely, the Department has recently intensified its efforts in this regard with the aim of educating investors about the importance of adhering to the rules of the Arabic language in all economic practices.

Moreover, SEDD calls all consumers to help in monitoring illegal commercial practices and helping to control any cases of commercial manipulation or fraud by reporting such cases. It urges everyone to contact it in the event of any violation via the call center 80080000 or by visiting the Department’s website www.sedd.ae, or via the Department’s smart application, as part of its active participation in market monitoring.
