VINACONEX ORGANIZING TRAINING AND FIRE DRILLS & RESCUE EXERCISES IN 2022

On December 22, 2022, the Management Board of Vinaconex Building at 34 Lang Ha Street collaborated with the Police Department of Fire and Rescue-Hanoi City’s Police to organize training and fire drills & rescue exercises for employees of the Corporation and units with headquarters located at the Building.
With the objective of improving the quality of fire safety and evacuation skills, the Management Board of the Building held the program “Training, Certification granting and fire drills & rescue exercises” in 2022.

During the training session, under the guidance of the police, the learners were provided with knowledge of fire prevention and fighting as well as skills to respond to and escape from potential threats. At the same time, they were guided to use on-site fire fighting equipment such as personal protective equipment, masks, and hand-held fire extinguishers.

Based on the hypothetical situation in which there was a fire in the building while the employees were performing their regular tasks and there was an injured individual in need of emergency. Right after the fire was detected, the fire alarm system and notice of evacuation instructions from the building’s Management Board would automatically activated while the grassroots fire fighting force quickly instructed the staff and tenants to evacuate by the emergency door; at the same time, using on-site fire protection equipment such as fire hydrants, fire extinguishers, etc. to approach, block the fire and provide first aid to victims while waiting for the Fire Police.

Three specialized fire engines, officers, and polices from the Police Department of Fire and Rescue-Hanoi City’s Police were sent to work with the grassroots forces to arrange firefighting using water cannons, fire extinguishers, and sprayers. The hypothetical fire was entirely controled and put out after a short time.

This is a crucial activity for everyone to keep raising awareness, understanding the skills, the process of coordinating and deploying fire prevention and fighting, the capability of rescue and escape, as well as using proficiently the on-site fire fighting equipment in case of a fire incident.
The Building’s Management Board and the Police force of Fire and Rescue had a meeting following the exercises to review and discuss. The representative police assessed the fire drill and rescue exercises as having good results, and the Building's technical system performed flawlessly; especially, the grassroots forces promoted their roles and duties well and coordinated rather well with the Fire Police in addressing incidence. But, this was merely a rehearsal, and the actual situation would be drastically different. Therefore, the Building’s Management Board shall continue to inform widely to further raise the awareness and responsibility for fire prevention and fighting, enhance training in necessary skills of fire prevention at the workplace, rescue, escape, etc. for every staff member in the Building;
Performing well the task of ensuring fire and explosion safety at the Building is guaranteeing complete safety for the lives and properties of customers and investors, and helps to maintain local security, proving that the Vinaconex building is always a welcoming and secure place for customers and partners.
