Dettol At Expo 2020 Dubai
WORLD-CLASS PROTECTION AT A WORLD-CLASS EVENT
DUBAI EXPO 2020 welcomed more than 24 million visits over 180 days. This was one of the first large scale events held post pandemic so ensuring the utmost protection of the people working at and visiting the event, was of paramount importance.
A scientific approach to health safety
Taking a scientific approach to protecting people at the event from illness-causing germs, Dettol had the pleasure to partner with the massive team at Dubai Expo 2020 in creating in-depth heat maps of high traffic timings, days, zones, and areas to carefully plan the sanitisation process throughout the event. The process not only covers the event site, but also the route to and from the venue to create a 360-degree circle of safety for all.
The robust preparation before and during the event involved a massive on-site sanitisation programme ahead of the opening carried out by a team of 1,000 cleaning staff members using only Dubai Health Authority (DHA) approved anti-viral disinfectants. A team of 6,000 staff members continues to ensure that the site remains sterilised, using key products known to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses.
Additionally, more than 2,000 no-touch hand sanitiser dispensers were deployed throughout the EXPO 2020 Dubai site by Dettol; a total of 97,500 bottles of hand sanitiser products were arranged for the six-month event.
With such a robust protection strategy in place, the Dubai Expo 2020 set new benchmarks for the world to follow for how large-scale events must be planned, not just in the light of a pandemic, but also in the future where health and sanitation have become primary precursors to hosting and attending events.
