The third forum for officials of hotels, commercial malls and security firms took place yesterday at the Directorate General of Civil Defence.
The forum, which is organised by the Facilities Security Department in co-operation with the Directorate General of Civil Defence, aimed to discuss and stress the importance of security systems at major facilities such as hotels and commercial malls and the readiness of security personnel there.
The event featured lectures that focused on requirements of security and safety, fire systems, staff training, and the responsibilities of hotels and commercial malls in implementing all safety and security conditions.
In addition, the forum touched on mistakes and violations that the facilities in question may commit in the field of security and safety and how to tackle them.
Lecturers focused on the importance of boosting the security of facilities through activating the strategic partnership with Qatar International Centre for Safety and Security to train workers in that field and co-ordinate with the different security departments at the Ministry of Interior in relation to the working mechanisms of security monitoring and security systems.
At the end of the forum, Major Mohamed Marafiyah, the head of Operations Department at the Directorate General of Civil Defence, stressed the responsibility of directors of hospitality and commercial facilities to ensure security measures at their facilities.
He said that officials of the Directorate General of Civil Defence are always accessible to offer consultation and carry out exercises with all facilities as they both share the responsibility of security.
