2023/07/20

        While Tainan City's industrial economy is booming, it also takes into account the company's own fire prevention awareness and management. In addition to reducing financial losses during disasters, it can also reduce the risk of human casualties. The Tainan City Fire Department provides guidance to companies in conducting early stage independent response drills for disasters. Firefighters and company’s response people were able to conduct in-depth exchanges and discussions on simulated accidents in the factory area, and the results were excellent. Mayor Huang Wei-zhe commended the companies that performed well in the early stage of independent response.

The enterprise's independent response drill is different from the past. In the military simulation, the host's questions, answers ,the manufacturer's reflection and response are used to interact, so as to gain a deep understanding of the deficiencies in the factory, and then reflect on the prevention work to strengthen the project, and thereby become an improvement goals. In addition, through practical drills, the tacit cooperation between the self-defense firefighting team members in the factory and the fire brigade was enhanced, the familiarity with the operation of disaster relief equipment was strengthened, and practical experience was learned on how to protect the perimeter of the site to avoid spreading the fire, and how to spray water to prevent the fire from spreading to other areas. Through practical operations and interactions, the experience of the front-line self-defense firefighting marshalling personnel in the factory area is enhanced in disaster relief and fire-fighting, with a view to suppressing the fire immediately during a disaster, reducing the risk of property loss and personal injury in the factory, and enhancing the independent response and coordination of the self-defense firefighting marshalling personnel, and works well together with the fire brigade.

 

        The ability of enterprises to respond independently in the early stage of disasters is a long-term task for the survival and development of enterprises. Only when enterprises strengthen fire safety work, implement fire safety knowledge publicity, and improve the fire prevention awareness of all employees can they truly minimize fire hazards and ensure the healthy development of enterprises.

Mayor Huang Wei-zhe said that companies should fulfill their social responsibilities and actively cooperate with the fire bureau to ensure the occupational safety of employees, thereby reducing the risk of fires. In the future, he hopes that more companies will follow suit and work together towards the vision of building a safe Tainan.

Li Ming-feng, director of the Fire Department, said that we do not like to see the losses and casualties caused by disasters, but its occurrence or expansion may be caused by some inconspicuous details. Therefore, by coaching companies to promote independent disaster prevention and setting up volunteer firefighting teams within companies to help companies implement daily prevention and disaster rescue work, we hope to make citizens safer and more secure at work.
