The Dubai Customs has developed a mobile safe passage to ensure the safety and security of its inspection officers.
The new device, initiated by the administrative affairs department, Dubai Customs, comes in line with the health guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and other health authorities in the UAE to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Khawla Slaes, head of administrative affairs department, said the new customs inspection mobile cabin has been designed in cooperation with a manufacturing company.
"It is intended to protect inspectors and sterilise them before embarking on their inspection routines."
The safe inspection passage can be transported easily to any place within the building, she added.
"It is equipped with a smart thermal scanner that reads temperature aloud, a water source operated by foot rather than hands, and full sterilisation, along with safety gear, including gloves, masks and full body protective uniform."
The safety and security of our inspection officers is a top priority, Slaes underlined.
"At the same time, we ensure streamlined inspection work to maintain our role in facilitating legitimate trade and securing the borders."
Slaes pointed out that Dubai Customs has taken a number of precautionary measures and steps to ensure the safety of inspection officers while doing their job. "These included the sterilisation of all the trucks passing through Hatta border crossing."
Earlier, Dubai Customs had sterilised all its buildings and customs centers and facilities.
