Fire Safety Training Equips Employees with Critical Emergency Skills
ATCSAU recently organized a hands-on fire safety training session to enhance employees’ preparedness for potential fire hazards. The event, held on July 24th 2024, combined theoretical knowledge with practical drills, ensuring staff could confidently respond to emergencies.
Training Highlights
The session covered essential fire safety principles, including:
Fire Prevention Measures: Identifying common workplace fire risks (e.g., electrical faults, flammable materials).
Emergency Evacuation Protocols: Recognizing alarms, exit routes, and assembly points.
Proper Use of Fire Extinguishers: Instructing employees on the PASS technique (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).
The highlight was the live fire extinguisher drill conducted on the company’s open ground. Under expert supervision, staff practiced tackling controlled fires using CO₂ and dry powder extinguishers, reinforcing muscle memory for real-life scenarios.
Why It Matters
“Theory alone isn’t enough—hands-on experience saves lives,” emphasized Trainer, the lead safety officer. Statistics show that 60% of workplace fire injuries stem from inadequate training, underscoring the value of such exercises.
Employee Feedback
Participants praised the interactive approach. “I’d never used an extinguisher before. Now I feel prepared,” shared Junjiang, workshop manager.
Next Steps
Annual refreshers and surprise drills are planned to maintain vigilance. ATCSAU remains committed to OSHA standards and a fire-safe workplace.
