Abstract
Life has no small matters, and fire drills are not a joke! They are closely related to our life and property safety. Preventing disasters before they 'ignite', we are taking action! To further strengthen safety management, enhance the fire safety awareness of all employees, and improve self-rescue and prevention capabilities, Suzhou Xinkai held the '2019 Annual Fire Drill' on the afternoon of June 28, 2019. The entire event was divided into three processes: emergency evacuation, first aid for the injured, and the use of firefighting equipment (fire extinguishers, fire hydrants), lasting for 1 hour. Before the formal drill, the administrative department carefully planned and organized the exercise, clarifying the drill steps and the responsibilities of the emergency response team.
Life has no small matters; fire drills are not a joke!
It is closely related to our life and property safety.
Preventing problems before they arise, we are taking action!
To further strengthen safety management, enhance the fire safety awareness of all employees, and improve self-rescue and prevention capabilities, Suzhou Xinkai held the '2019 Annual Fire Drill' on the afternoon of June 28, 2019. The entire event was divided into three processes: emergency evacuation, first aid for the injured, and the use of firefighting equipment (fire extinguishers, fire hydrants), lasting for 1 hour.
Before the formal drill, the administrative department carefully planned and organized the exercise, clarifying specific requirements such as drill steps, emergency team responsibilities, and evacuation routes. A pre-exercise mobilization was also conducted, distributing the <Employee Safety Manual> to all staff.
Emergency Evacuation
At 15:30, smoke was ignited, and the fire alarm rang. The evacuation leaders from each department immediately guided personnel to evacuate. Employees covered their mouths and noses, bent down, and orderly passed through the emergency exit along the evacuation stairs, gathering from various areas to a safe zone. After gathering, the communication team immediately counted the number of people and reported to the deputy commander that one person was left behind. The commander ordered the rescue team to enter the scene for search and rescue operations.
First Aid for the Injured
The rescue team entered the scene for search and rescue at the first opportunity, performing bandaging, hemostasis, and immobilization in a tense yet orderly manner. Two minutes later, the injured person was carried out. Next, Engineer Qian from EHS explained potential emergencies that might occur during evacuation. He first discussed how to assess a victim's breathing, heartbeat cessation, and consciousness, providing detailed explanations on adjusting the victim's position, chest compressions, opening airways, and artificial respiration while leading everyone in practical exercises.
Use of Firefighting Equipment
Finally, there was an explanation of fire types on-site, distinguishing between how to use fire extinguishers and precautions for firefighting. Department representatives along with all team leaders, section heads, and management participated in practical firefighting drills using various tools such as dry powder extinguishers, carbon dioxide extinguishers, dry ice extinguishers, and fire hydrants to collectively extinguish a raging fire in an iron barrel.
Summary
In conclusion, Commander Sun summarized the drill. He emphasized repeatedly that safety is above all else; safety work is paramount in all our tasks. We must always be vigilant about safety and prevent problems before they arise. In emergencies, remember that safety comes first; life is more important than anything.
Fire is merciless; we need to remain vigilant at all times and pay attention to every detail in our work and life. We must have fire prevention awareness and eliminate behaviors that could cause fires to fundamentally reduce or avoid fire accidents.
