This year, comprehensive trainings on responding to emergency situations in wartime continue in the shops of the plant. Recently, the regulations of actions were worked out in the sinter shop.

As before, during a comprehensive training in the workshop, an emergency situation was recreated after an imaginary shelling. According to the scenario, the sinter shop had been hit by a UAV. As a result, the gas pipeline were damaged, followed by a leak of toxic substances and poisoning of the operator. Also, according to the legend, there was a fire on the premises of the shop and a suspicious object was found.

Employees not only of the shop, but of the entire enterprise, had to effectively interact with each other on the issues of safe shutdown of equipment due to lack of power supply. At the local level, first aid units were practising skills to save the life of the victim, firefighting units were extinguishing the fire. All this was happening in cooperation with emergency services, explosives technicians, dispatcher and executives of the plant.

"These comprehensive trainings are aimed at checking the readiness of the enterprise for possible emergencies, identifying errors and eliminating them, refining and improving the regulations. And in this way, we help the staff of the plant to test their skills, apply them in conditions close to reality," said Kyrylo HAVRYLIUK, HSE Director. 

Currently, health & safety specialists are analysing the results of the training in the sinter shop in order to further improve the skills of employees and bring them to automatism. In total, three more such trainings are going to be held this year - in the blast furnace shop, water supply shop and combined heat and power plant.
