Metro Retail Stores Attains 100% Compliance with DTI Safety Seal

Not leaving the health and safety of its customers to chance, Metro Retail Stores Group, Inc. (MRSGI) has now made all of its 61 branches nationwide compliant with the Department of Trade and Industry’s Safety Seal Certification.

Shoppers going to any Metro Retail branch can be assured that the strictest health protocols are in place to put their minds at ease over any safety and sanitation concerns.

MRSGI states that the Safety Seal certification is a prominent reassurance of its in-store enforcement of health measures set by the government, which include having ample hand sanitizing areas, strict social distancing, and the use of StaySafe.ph and other applicable contact tracing tool of the local authorities.

On top of these are other initiatives in place to give its store frontliners equal protection and confidence in the performance of their duties. In addition to wearing face masks and face shields, all personnel are required to put on cleaning gloves and other personal protective equipment. Break times are also regulated in multiple schedules to avoid crowding in our employee canteen areas. And a dedicated sanitation team regularly cleans and disinfects common areas, pushcarts, checkout counters, door handles, service stations, and even parking, hallways, and outdoor public spaces.
