During the training sessions, particular attention was paid to making appropriate decisions in emergencies, remaining calm, and ensuring the safety of employees and those around them.
Responsible representatives of rescue services participated in the seminars and explained the essential safety rules and sequence of actions to be followed in the event of an earthquake.
In particular, participants were instructed on the importance of assessing dangerous situations, following established evacuation procedures, moving to safe areas, and complying with instructions issued by the relevant emergency services.
The seminars also addressed first aid for injured persons before medical personnel arrive, coordination during emergencies, and measures to prevent panic.
Throughout the training, specialists emphasized the importance of applying theoretical knowledge in daily professional activities and continuously improving preparedness for potential emergencies.
At the conclusion of the seminars, tasks were established to strengthen compliance with safety requirements at enterprises and branches, conduct regular awareness-raising activities among employees, and consistently continue practical training sessions.
These activities are aimed at protecting human life and health during emergencies, reducing the risk of accidents, and improving the operational readiness of rescue units.
Regular training within the Militarized Mine Rescue Service helps strengthen safety culture at industrial facilities. Early risk assessment and employee training in appropriate emergency response procedures are important factors in reducing potential losses, production interruptions, and the associated economic damage.
