Doha, Qatar: Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramma), in cooperation with the General Directorate of Civil Defence, has launched a campaign to enhance electrical safety in homes and facilities.

“The drive also aims at raising awareness among people about the risks of carrying out electrical work without a licence,” said Head of Extensions Department at Kahramaa Eng Salma Ali Al Shammari.

Speaking to Qatar TV recently, she said that this campaign has several objectives, the most important of which is the importance of using specialised and licenced technicians to perform electrical work in general.

“The initiative aims at ensuring public safety and quality work per approved standards and specifications,” said Al Shammari. 

She said that through this and other campaigns, Kahramaa showed its commitment to spreading a culture of safety and its keenness to provide the best services in terms of safety and quality to the community.
