Safety in unity:
stronger together
Slowly but surely, life in our city is
marching back to normalcy – and it’s
our responsibility to ensure we take
the precautions that support our
government’s tireless efforts.
While you wear masks and practice
social distancing, we urge you to
remember the below guidelines.
1. Household staff must wear their
masks properly (covering their
nose and mouth) at all times in
the community.
2. Gathering of staff members from
different households in the
common areas is not permitted.
3. Social distancing of at least 3
metres must be adhered to at all
times in common areas.
4. Personal items like bicycles, shoes,
and strollers should not be left
outside the home.
To ensure a safe environment for
everyone, staff members found to be in
repeated violation of these guidelines
will be asked to leave the amenity.

Parking floors, now
good as new
Ever wondered why basement parking
floors are so ‘squeaky’? It’s the
epoxy-based paint we’ve just applied
on over 800 square feet!
• Comprising a combination of acrylic
and epoxy, the paint offers
unparalleled grip – something crucial
in narrower spaces like parking areas.
• Epoxy is three times more flexible
than concrete, allowing it to bear
tons of vehicular load daily without
cracking or flaking.
• The epoxy is also naturally
stain-resistant, making it easier to
wash.
• It’s also eco-friendly! Epoxy floors
don’t disintegrate or release harmful
compounds into the environment,
and leave lesser waste compared to
other types of flooring.

P-leash follow
this rule!
Your community loves pets. We
understand that they’re an important
member of your family. But when it
comes to walking them in the
community, we must insist on leashes.
Let’s tell you why a leash is important:
1. Consideration – Elderly residents,
young children, individuals with
allergies and others might be
intimidated by pets’ exploratory
behaviour.
2. Safety – Startled pets may suddenly
run onto roads without warning or
cross paths with cyclists, which is a
major safety hazard.
3. Health – Wandering pets might
nibble on landscaping – but a number
of plants native to the city are not
friendly to pets’ tummies.
4. It is the law – Walking a dog without
a leash is punishable with a fine of
AED 10,000. Fines can reach AED
100,000 if the pet is involved in
an attack.

Up close & personal
with Midhun
He’s the man who ensures that your community’s
pipes and valves are always in perfect condition.
We caught up with Midhun Raj from India, who has
been your community’s MEP supervisor for five years.
Why he loves it here: “The people here are really
friendly to me – I don’t meet them often because of
the nature of my job but when I do, they always
show kindness.”
What a typical day’s like: “I enjoy spending my free time watching movies and TV shows online. I
don’t want to go to theatres at the moment so I usually watch at my home.”
On his family back home: “I feel very grateful that my family is in good health and we keep in
touch every week – I plan to take some time off later in the year to visit them.”
His ambitions and dreams: “I want to keep learning and improving my knowledge especially
since technology in Dubai is growing so fast! Hopefully that will help me become a good
manager one day.”
His plans for 2021: “I want to start exercising to lose some weight this year and improve my
eating habits.”

THE HOME AID BOX
Q. One of the electrical outlets in my unit is not
working. How do I fix it?
1. Check if it is connected to a wall switch that may have not been
turned on.
2. Once this is determined, inspect the circuit
breakers and reset any that may have turned off.
3. A blown fuse may have also disrupted power to
the outlet.
Do not attempt to insert any long artifacts into the
outlet – call a reliable electrician if you are unable to
resolve the problem.AL SAHAB ISSUE 1 2021 COMMUNITY NEWS

STUB THAT IN!
Don’t throw your cigarette butts out
from your balcony!
In the interest of community health and safety, please stop
throwing lit cigarettes and butts from your apartment balcony.
There are several risks/issues associated with this unsafe
practice including...
Fire
Lit cigarettes and butts thrown from balconies can land on soft furnishings or other flammable
items, resulting in a serious fire that could lead to property damage and loss of personal
belongings or life.
Enviromental Impact
Cigarette butts are non-biodegradable and take many years to decompose. Toxic chemicals
from the filter leak into drains and nearby water bodies.
Community Aesthetics
Cigarette litter is unsightly and creates a negative impression of the neighbourhood.AL SAHAB ISSUE 1 2021 COMMUNITY NEWS
