KUWAIT CITY, Aug 13: The Public Relations Department of Kuwait Municipality has announced the commencement of inspection campaigns aimed at verifying safety practices in residential areas. Teams from the Safety Department across the governorates will be scrutinizing construction sites to ensure compliance with safety requirements by construction contractors.

In a recent statement, the department revealed that the Safety Department’s supervisory team at the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Municipality branch conducted its first field campaign.
