PUBLIC NOTICE – ILLEGAL FACTORY INSPECTIONS

  9th September , 2020 ,       Hits: 1612

It has come to our attention that individuals masquerading as UNBS staff are conducting unauthorized inspections at different business premises and are extorting money from the business community.

UNBS would like to dissociate its self from such individuals and inform the public that UNBS staff are NOT SUPPOSED to demand for money to offer any service and all those doing so are MASQUERADERS and should be arrested.

All payments for UNBS services except for weights and measures verifications are made to the bank and as such NO PHYSICAL EXCHANGE OF CASH should take place between any UNBS official and a client. The public/business community is thus urged to be VIGILANT and ensure the following;

1. For any UNBS inspection, the UNBS official(s) should present a VALID UNBS ID, should have travelled in a UNBS branded car, putting on a UNBS uniform.
2. The UNBS official(s) should register their full name, designation and leave their work IDs at the factory entrance security checks, during their stay at the site.
3. After inspection the UNBS official(s) should leave an inspection report at the site.
4. The UNBS official SHOULD NOT ask for money to offer any service.
5. In case of any doubt, kindly call our toll free line 0800133133 and WhatsApp line 0713227580 for more information.
