Special fire drill at the corporate office of Walton Hi-Tech Industries Plc
In the presence of Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defense Team, a special fire fighting exercise was conducted at the corporate office of Walton Hi-Tech Industries Plc.
This special exercise was organized on Tuesday (August 27) at the Walton Corporate Office in Bashundhara. Officers and employees of Walton Corporate Office participated in it. They spontaneously participated in basic concepts and practical application of fire fighting system.
The exercise is organized as part of ongoing efforts to ensure workplace safety. In order to evacuate all officers and staff in an orderly manner, the exercise was divided into several operational groups.
Senior officer of fire service and civil defense department Sheikh Md. Syed Monirul Islam, senior station officer in charge of Fire Service and Civil Defense Baridhara station under Golam Mostafar was present at this time.
The fire drills discuss the practical use of fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, what to do in case of fire and rescue and safe exit of injured persons.
Speaking as the chief guest on the occasion, Senior Executive Director of Walton SM Zahid Hasan said that if all officers and employees have knowledge of fire fighting, emergency rescue and first aid, it is possible to escape from fire in an emergency and avoid major accidents. Such drills are essential to enhance the preparedness of everyone working in the building to deal efficiently with emergency situations.
Head of EHS Department Mostafizur Rahman Raju said that fire safety is an important issue in occupational health and safety. Mainly the absence or lack of fire fighting system, shortness of escape routes and above all lack of training and awareness are responsible for major losses. Carelessness is the main cause of fire. So if you are aware, the risk of fire will be reduced a lot.
