The logistic support team made careful preparations, ensuring that emergency rescue materials were well-prepared and protective gear was in place to provide a solid guarantee for the smooth conduct of the drill.
The company arranged fire safety promotion boards to emphasize the messages
All departments participated in the “Accident Case Education” training
At 9:00 a.m., the activity command team held a video meeting of mobilization for all staff on the 21st and 22nd floors, interpreting the script of the drill in detail and systematically teaching strategies of emergency response to ensure that the staff understood and responded appropriately.
III. Effective direction, clear responsibility management, and great teamwork
At 9:30, the drill was officially initiated, with the command team, emergency rescue team, medical team, and evacuation team carrying out their respective duties. All 49 participants in the drill were evacuated to the assembly point in a fast, safe, and orderly manner according to the established route, with no accidents occurring throughout the procedure, which demonstrated our efficient emergency response capability.
IV. Real-world simulation to promote learning through practice
The script of the exercise was carefully designed to simulate the real-world scenario of a fire caused by a short circuit. With smoke and alarms, it provided an immersive experience of severity for the staff to effectively enhance the practicality and sense of urgency of the drill.
V. Treating the wounded and gaining a field-tested experience
The medical team simulated the scenario of rescuing the injured. They worked together to transfer the wounded personnel from the 21st floor to a safe area through the fire stairs. This drill not only tested their first-aid ability, but also enhanced the staff's familiarity with the rescue process.
VI. Practical training for skill upgrading
At the scene of the first-aid drill, professionals carefully explained the principles of rescue and taught CPR, artificial respiration, the use of fire extinguishers and gas masks, and other rescuing skills in detail. Employees took turns to practice, not only to master the operating skills but also to understand the scientific principles behind each step of the operation. The training achieved remarkable results, with enhancement of both knowledge and skills.
VII. Summarizing experience for better prevention
As the drill came to a successful end, Ms. Feng Xiaoxia, Deputy General Manager of Ubridge commented highly of the activity. Mr. Li Dong, Deputy Commander-in-chief of the activity, emphasized that although the drill was a simulation, it should be treated with a real-world situation, with staff being vigilant safety awareness being kept at all times. He commented that each emergency team should continue to refine their skills, familiarize themselves with the use of emergency supplies, and enhance their professionalism to ensure foolproof rescue operations.
