Belait Red Crescent urged to work with SMEs

BELAIT

Thursday, January 13, 2011

THE Belait Red Crescent Society was recently asked to work more closely with small and medium enterprises in the district with regards to providing training in first aid and emergency procedures by the Kuala Belait and Seria Municipal Office.

The idea was mooted to Belait Red Crescent Chairman Chai Yum Fatt by the Municipal Office Acting Chairman Sarih Tabong during a courtesy visit by the Belait Red Crescent members to the Municipal Office on earlier this week.

The visit by the society was aimed at identifying how both parties can work closer together to provide first aid services to residents in Kuala Belait and Seria.

During the meeting, the Municipal Office Acting Chairman suggested to Chai that Belait Red Crescent should work towards a closer relation with not just government agencies and non-government organisations, but also the smaller businesses.

The idea was to collaborate with various restaurants, departmental stores, food stalls, and workshops under the Municipal Office to provide training assistance to their staff.

No concrete plans have yet been set by either parties, but both agreed to come up with training programmes, to be implemented in stages, so that workers will know how to perform in case of emergency circumstances that might happen in their vicinity.

Also present at the meeting were Belait Red Crescent Society Treasurer Chee Keong Tung and Assistant Chairman Hj Ismail Kassim, as well as officers from the Kuala Belait and Seria Municipal Office.
