As industrial park production continues to expand across Vietnam, Fire Prevention, Firefighting, and Rescue (FPF&R) have become critical components of workplace safety. Effective fire safety training not only protects lives and property but also ensures uninterrupted business operations and regulatory compliance.
Recently, the Fire Prevention, Firefighting and Rescue Police Division (PC07) of Dong Nai City Police organized a comprehensive training program for nearly 120 employees working at Nhon Trach 3 Industrial Park, helping workers strengthen their legal knowledge, improve emergency response skills, and enhance workplace safety awareness.
1. Nearly 120 Employees Participated in Professional Fire Safety Training
The training program was organized for employees from:
- Kim Long Co., Ltd.
- Youngtex Aepro Co., Ltd.
- Other tenant companies operating within Nhon Trach 3 Industrial Park.
The initiative supports the government’s policy of strengthening legal awareness and professional training on fire prevention, firefighting, and rescue, while improving the responsibilities of both business leaders and employees in maintaining workplace safety.
2. Understanding Fire Prevention and Rescue Regulations
During the training session, officers from PC07 introduced key provisions of Vietnam’s:
- Fire Prevention, Firefighting and Rescue Law.
- Workplace fire safety regulations.
- Employer responsibilities.
- Employee obligations regarding fire safety.
Understanding these legal requirements enables businesses to establish safer working environments while reducing operational risks.
3. Identifying Common Fire and Explosion Risks
One of the program’s core topics focused on identifying the most common causes of industrial fires, including:
- Electrical short circuits.
- Equipment overload.
- Chemical leaks.
- Unsafe use of heat sources.
- Violations of production safety procedures.
Using practical workplace examples, instructors demonstrated how employees can recognize hazards early and prevent fires before they occur.
4. Learning the Correct Emergency Response Procedures
Participants received detailed guidance on the appropriate actions to take when discovering a fire, including:
- Activating the alarm system.
- Calling emergency services.
- Disconnecting electrical power when safe.
- Using initial firefighting equipment.
- Assisting with employee evacuation.
Proper action during the first few minutes of a fire can significantly reduce casualties and property damage.
5. Hands-On Fire Extinguisher Training
Following the classroom session, participants practiced using portable fire extinguishers under the direct supervision of PC07 officers.
Training included:
- Inspecting fire extinguishers.
- Removing the safety pin.
- Correct handling techniques.
- Proper spraying distance and direction.
- Extinguishing a controlled fuel-tray fire.
The practical exercises helped employees confidently operate firefighting equipment during real emergencies.
6. Strengthening Rescue and Evacuation Skills
In addition to firefighting, employees were trained in essential rescue techniques, including:
- Safe evacuation procedures.
- Moving safely through smoke-filled environments.
- Assisting injured colleagues.
- Coordinating with professional firefighters.
- Protecting personal safety during emergencies.
These skills are particularly important for manufacturing facilities employing large workforces.
7. Applying the “Four-On-the-Spot” Principle
The training also reinforced Vietnam’s well-established “Four-On-the-Spot” emergency response principle, which emphasizes:
- On-the-spot command.
- On-the-spot response forces.
- On-the-spot equipment.
- On-the-spot logistics support.
This approach enables businesses to respond immediately during the critical early stages of an emergency before professional firefighting units arrive.
Building a Safer Workplace in Industrial Parks
Industrial parks face higher fire risks due to intensive manufacturing activities, machinery, electrical systems, and combustible materials.
Regular fire safety education and emergency drills help businesses:
- Protect employees.
- Minimize property losses.
- Maintain production continuity.
- Improve risk management.
- Foster a strong workplace safety culture.
Comprehensive fire safety programs also demonstrate a company’s commitment to responsible corporate governance and sustainable operations.
Strengthening Fire Safety Across Industrial Parks
The Fire Prevention, Firefighting and Rescue Police Division of Dong Nai City Police plans to continue expanding legal education and professional fire safety training throughout industrial parks, manufacturing facilities, and business establishments across the city.
These ongoing programs support the nationwide movement encouraging public participation in fire prevention, firefighting, and rescue, helping create safer workplaces while contributing to sustainable socio-economic development.
Conclusion
The Fire Prevention, Firefighting, and Rescue training program at Nhon Trach 3 Industrial Park provided nearly 120 employees with valuable legal knowledge and practical emergency response skills. By strengthening workplace fire safety awareness and reinforcing the “Four-On-the-Spot” principle, the program enables businesses to better prevent fire risks, protect employees, minimize potential losses, and build safer, more sustainable industrial workplaces.
