A gas rescue team completed training drills at AO “Omsky kauchuk”

A gas rescue team completed training drills on containment and elimination of a force major situation.

According to the training situation, there was depressurization of an air-cooling compressor inside of an industrial workshop. As a consequence the release of substance into the working area happened.

One of the employees of the shop, according to the same “story”, was no longer in touch. During the training the rescue team practiced providing first aid to an injured person and containment and elimination of a force major situation.

Such trainings are held monthly to master correct and coordinated teamwork. The story of the trainings and locations are changed every time.

“A rescue team must act fast: they must put on a suit for chemical protection and prepare the necessary equipment. The most important stage is evacuation of an injured person out of a dangerous area. By practicing their skills, rescuers are better adapted to working in real-life situations,” rescue team leader of AO “Omsky kauchuk” Temur Sanakoev commented.

Besides trainings, the rescue team practices skills at a training ground. In addition, there is a 24-hour preventive work at the plant: instructors and rescue workers inspect the plant’s territory to find a problem that may cause a force major situation.
