Using Check Safety First’s risk management system E-Cristal, the Clarks Shiraz had to have consistently high scores to qualify for the site.
Hotel Clarks Shiraz is the first hotel in India to achieve exemplary health and safety standards by qualifying for the Check Safety First website. Showing their commitment to health and safety, the staff reached this high standard within the short space of three months. It comes after the independent health and safety company announced its aim of helping to improve hygiene standards in the country’s flourishing travel and hospitality sector. It is the only site to provide the travelling public with access to a database of venues that have obtained high standards.
Using Check Safety First’s risk management system E-Cristal, the Clarks Shiraz had to have consistently high scores to qualify for the site. Demanding temperatures mean food spoilage and contamination are still major challenges for many hotels in India. The new stringent Food and Safety Standards Act to be implemented from 2014 is a call to action for the hotel industry in India to ensure they are doing everything they can to remain compliant. By passing the E-Cristal standards of hygiene, Hotel Clarks Shiraz has shown its commitment to keeping up with the latest legislation, improving their food and water hygiene standards to Check Safety First’s exceptional level.
Debasish Bhowmik, senior vice president of Hotel Clarks Shiraz, explained: “Since we started working with Check Safety First, we have worked hard to improve our levels of hygiene and are thrilled that this has been recognised by the company’s thorough system. The challenge now is to maintain these high standards, as this recognition is a valuable indicator of safety and quality of service.”
Mark Harrington, CEO at Check Safety First, said, “Hotel Clarks Shiraz is leading the way for hotel hygiene standards in India. We hope that Hotel Clarks Shiraz is the first of many Indian hotels to follow the commitment of achieving such a high standard of hygiene.”
