Bacolod LGU inspects BPO firms’ health protocol compliance

The Bacolod City Business Permits and Licensing Committee recently inspected the health protocols being carried out by business process outsourcing (BPO) companies to stem the spread of COVID-19.
Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran, head of the city Inter-Agency Task Force against COVID-19, said the inspection aims to ensure that establishments are compliant with health protocols issued by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
Among the health measures inspected were the firms’ sanitation, ventilation, and exhaust system, said Familiaran.
“This is to avoid any potential workplace hazard that could increase risks of COVID-19 transmission,” he added.
