On
August 21, 2024, CROWN, in collaboration with the Bureau of Fire Protection
(BFP) Guiguinto, conducted a Fire Safety Seminar and Drill to enhance fire
preparedness among employees. The seminar was led by FO1 Grace Ann V. Belluga,
who emphasized the critical importance of fire safety training. Staying calm
and responding appropriately during a fire can significantly reduce risks and
potential damage.
The
seminar provided participants with valuable knowledge on identifying fire
hazards, the proper use of fire extinguishers, and understanding the
fundamentals of fire prevention. Employees were also trained in emergency
procedures, including safe building evacuation and assisting others during
emergencies. The goal is for these safety measures to become automatic
responses whenever fire alarms are triggered, ensuring everyone evacuates the
premises in a safe and orderly manner.
Fire
drills, which are mandatory for most facilities to conduct annually, play a
crucial role in evaluating the effectiveness of warning systems and the
occupants' knowledge of fire safety protocols. These exercises reinforce
training and assess the readiness of CROWN employees, ensuring they are
well-prepared to respond to fire emergencies.
Following
the training session, the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) conducted a practical
fire drill to teach employees the actual process of using fire safety equipment
and executing emergency procedures. During the drill, employees were guided
through the step-by-step process of handling fire extinguishers, identifying
and using emergency exits, and performing safe evacuation techniques. The
hands-on practice aimed to ensure that all participants are familiar with the
correct use of fire safety tools and can respond efficiently and confidently in
the event of a fire emergency.
By
conducting regular evacuation drills, CROWN aims to increase awareness of
potential fire hazards and teach employees how to navigate emergency exits and
evacuation routes effectively. This proactive approach is essential for
maintaining a safe work environment and protecting the well-being of all
employees.
