In the spirit of community, a team from National Security took on an initiative to give the Pick n Pay in Bryanston a deep cleanse.
A team suited in protective equipment and disinfectant spray guns dawned on the branch in Coachman’s Crossing after hours on 22 April.
They spent a few hours sanitising both the interior and exterior structure of the store.
According to National Security CEO Yagan Nair, the firm has expanded its security mandate to include the health security of the community.
“We first started supplying masks and hand sanitisers but with almost 50 per cent of our staff at home, I knew that we could offer much more to the community,” Nair said.
He added that the idea to kick off this initiative at the retailer in Bryanston came from a recent partnership the organisation has with the eblockwatch.
The watch group recently sent out a call to the community to donate non-perishable food item that will contribute towards the creation of food parcels for the less fortunate.
The patrol groups from National Security personally and safely collect these donations from the community.
The donations are then prepared and sanitised at the Pick n Pay branch in Coachman’s Crossing.
Nair added that the private security firm has received communications from retailers who are interested in getting involved with the initiative.
“It reduces the risk of contracting any virus, not just the coronavirus but also all kinds of bacteria.”
He added that the disinfectants only last for six to eight days so the team will be back on a regular basis to ensure that the environment is both clean and safe for the community.
