sets a new benchmark for sustainable<br />
living, working, and thriving. NEOM<br />
is divided into four distinct areas:<br />
<strong>The</strong> LINE, Oxagon, Trojena, and<br />
Sindalah. Each of these spaces<br />
presents unique opportunities for<br />
innovation and growth and NEOM<br />
plays a significant role in achieving a<br />
key objective of the Kingdom’s Vision<br />
2030, which is to propel Saudi Arabia<br />
towards unparalleled livability and<br />
groundbreaking conservation.<br />
We would like to extend our<br />
warmest congratulations to<br />
the team of Supervisors and<br />
Managers from NEOM Hospital<br />
for successfully completing<br />
the BICSc Licence to Practice<br />
& 13 core skills training. This<br />
comprehensive program included<br />
mandatory units focused on<br />
Chemical Competence, Safe Care<br />
and Use of Equipment and Storage<br />
of Equipment. Representing<br />
the hospital Eng. Hani Alyafei,<br />
the hospital Academy Director,<br />
expressed his enthusiasm for the<br />
provision of these valuable<br />
skills and competencies to<br />
the management team.<br />
Eng. Hani went on to<br />
explain that the ultimate<br />
goal is to improve the<br />
status and standards of<br />
cleaning at the hospital<br />
through education and<br />
accredited training.<br />
<strong>The</strong> hospital is now planning for<br />
their trained employees to share<br />
their knowledge and expertise<br />
with their front-line cleaning staff.<br />
This achievement reflects the<br />
dedication of NEOM Hospital in<br />
ensuring the highest standards<br />
of cleanliness and hygiene within<br />
their facility. <strong>The</strong> organisation's<br />
commitment to continuous<br />
improvement and professional<br />
development is commendable,<br />
and we wish them continued<br />
success in their endeavors.<br />
Cleaning services at the NEOM<br />
site are provided by the Public<br />
Investment Fund (PIF) owned<br />
Facility Management Company<br />
(FMTECH). <strong>The</strong> company,<br />
established in August, will offer a<br />
comprehensive range of services,<br />
including utilities, energy, and<br />
waste management as well as<br />
maintenance, housekeeping,<br />
security, and landscaping services.<br />
<strong>The</strong> training provided by BICSc<br />
and SaveFast demonstrates the<br />
government’s commitment to<br />
implementing international best<br />
practice in its cleaning activities<br />
SaveFast and BICSc are excited<br />
by the opportunity, the appetite<br />
for improving standards and<br />
the emphasis being placed at<br />
the highest levels of the Saudi<br />
Government on delivering the<br />
highest standards of cleaning<br />
excellence throughout the<br />
Kingdom. A further illustration of<br />
this firm commitment to excellence<br />
is the cleaning standards pilot,<br />
currently being run by the Ministry<br />
of Education (MoE), Tatweer<br />
Building Contracting, SaveFast<br />
and BICSc that could lead to BICSc<br />
standards being mandated for over<br />
800 schools run by the MoE.<br />
We applaud the Saudi<br />
Government’s commitment to<br />
achieving full implementation<br />
and compliance of BICSc<br />
standards in key industries<br />
across the Kingdom<br />
and we are proud<br />
to be a part of that<br />
ambitious journey.<br />
