The organisers of the Build Your House (BHY 2021) exhibition have stressed that strict Covid-19 precautionary measures will be followed during the event.
The exhibition is scheduled to be held at Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) from March 22 to 24 under the patronage of HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz al-Thani.
NeXTfairs for exhibitions & conferences and Boecker, a global leader in health and safety, have signed a partnership agreement to implement the preventive measures against Covid-19 and ensure public health and safety during the exhibition, the organisers have said in a statement.
Under the terms of agreement, Boecker will implement the precautionary measures that will ensure the health and safety of all participants, exhibitors and visitors during the exhibition.
The measures include regular and consistent disinfection of the halls, exhibition stands and all exhibits before bringing them into the exhibition halls. In addition, Boecker will also provide the general supervision of other preventive measures such as thermal scanning of the participants, wearing of masks, and checking the Eheteraz app, among others.
Moreover, Boecker will provide internal audits on practices and measures taken - based on the Qatar Clean programme - to ensure the safety of organisers, participants and visitors. This is in addition to applying the precautionary measures of QNCC, in line with the best global and local practices in the field of business events, to provide the safest experience for both exhibitors and visitors, the statement notes.
Rawad Sleem, general manager of NeXTFairs for exhibitions & conferences, said “At the BYH 2021 exhibition, we will apply the strictest precautionary measures against Covid-19 to provide complete safety for visitors and participating companies. That’s why we have partnered with Boecker, which is committed to providing global best practices in applying preventive measures against Covid-19.
“We at NeXTfairs developed a risk assessment plan of more than 40 pages, covering all the risks response plans from mitigation to avoidance to transferring and acceptance for the pre- during and post-event. We aligned the measures with the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) guidelines and the local health officials, and continue adjusting our approach as necessary to follow the best practices in the event industry.”
Sleem indicated that the guidelines of the Qatar Clean programme will be implemented during the exhibition, including daily disinfection of the venue as well as ensuring thorough disinfection of areas that entail meeting and communicating with visitors, especially reception halls and other common places. These will be in addition to maintaining a safe distance between individuals of at least 2m, conducting temperature checks on all employees daily, immediately isolating employees when noticing any of the symptoms, and keeping in contact with the MoPH, while applying the same rules to the participating companies.
Carla Ghaleb, general manager of Boecker in Qatar, added: “We look forward, through this partnership, to optimise all our experiences to ensure the health and safety of all visitors and participants of the exhibition."
