SECOND PHASE OF ANTI-RAT CAMPAIGN UNDER WAY
****
THE SECOND PHASE OF THE MONTH-LONG ANTI-RODENT CAMPAIGN IN TSIM SHA TSUI EAST GOT UNDER WAY TODAY, WITH 14 HEALTH INSPECTORS FROM THE URBAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT INSPECTING MORE THAN 150 RESTAURANTS AND SIMILAR ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE AREA TODAY AND TOMORROW.
+THE AIM OF THIS PHASE IS TO ADVISE OPERATORS OF FOOD PREMISES AND THEIR STAFF ON THE PROPER METHODS OF FOOD STORAGE, WASTE DISPOSAL AND RAT-PROOFING, SAID THE DISTRICT HYGIENE SUPERINTENDENT OF YAU MA TEI, MR CHUNG YIU-FAN.
+RECREATION AND AMENITIES STAFF OF THE USD HAVE ALREADY POSITIONED RODENT-CONTROL DEVICES IN POTENTIAL RODENT HARBOURAGES INSIDE OTHER PREMISES AND IN OPEN SPACES IN THE DISTRICT.
+WHAT WE ARE DOING TODAY AND TOMORROW IS GIVING FULL ADVICE ON HOW RATS CAN BE PREVENTED FROM GETTING FOOD FROM THE MANY FOOD PREMISES IN EAST TSIM SHA TSUI.+
DURING THE IR INSPECTIONS TODAY, HEALTH INSPECTORS PAID SPECIAL ATTENTION TO POTENTIAL RAT HARBOURAGES SUCH AS SERVICE CHANNELS, FOOD-STORAGE ROOMS AND AIR-CONDITIONING AND EXHAUST DUCTS.
THEY ALSO OFFERED ADVICE ON THE SPOT ON VARIOUS RAT-PROOF ING METHODS.
THE TOUGHER SIDE OF THE CAMPAIGN WILL EMERGE LATER THIS MONTH WHEN FOLLOW-UP INSPECTIONS OF FOOD PREMISES WILL BE MADE, AND PROSECUTIONS TAKEN OUT AGAINST FOOD PREMISES FOUND TO BE BREACHING THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND URBAN SERVICES ORDINANCE.
