Empowering Through Training, Strengthening Responsibility Through Practice Thailand Yongxing Company’s Fire Safety Month Focuses on Management to Reinforce the “First Responsible P

On November 9, 2025, coinciding with the 34th National Fire Safety Day, the Safety Department of Thailand Yongxing Company organized a series of fire safety initiatives under the theme “Fire Safety for All, Life Comes First — Safe Use of Electricity and Open Flames.” Guided by the core principle of “Prevention First, Life Above All,” the program focused precisely on management personnel at all levels as a key group, systematically carrying out specialized fire safety training and practical emergency fire drills. These efforts comprehensively strengthened management’s safety awareness, command and coordination capabilities, and emergency response skills, laying a solid foundation for enhancing the company’s overall fire safety performance.

First, the Safety Department organized targeted fire safety training for managers at all levels, aiming to achieve both in-depth understanding and practical application. The training established a comprehensive, multi-layered fire safety knowledge system and covered four key modules:

Clarifying fire safety laws, regulations, and job responsibilities, reinforcing managers’ role as the “first responsible persons” for safety and ensuring they understand governing standards;

Analyzing fire risk characteristics within the steel industry to help managers identify critical risk sources;Strengthening hands-on instruction in fire equipment management and inspection, including key inspection points and management requirements;Teaching emergency fire response procedures and command methods, such as alarm reporting, evacuation, fire suppression, and on-site coordination, ensuring managers not only understand fire safety concepts but are also capable of directing and handling emergencies, setting a strong example for employees.

To transfer training outcomes from the classroom to the scene, and to enhance practical operational capabilities, the Safety Department organized comprehensive fire emergency drills covering the entire process, all key elements, and all participants, guided by the principles of realism, practicality, and effectiveness. The drills were divided into four major stages: simulated fire alarm reporting, during which on-duty personnel quickly identified the situation and raised the alarm while the communication team activated emergency plans; initial fire suppression, where managers and team leaders practiced using fire extinguishers and fire hydrants; evacuation and on-site command, in which workshop managers directed orderly evacuation and conducted headcounts; and coordinated emergency rescue exercises that simulated real-life scenarios, strengthening managers’ multi-department coordination and organizational capabilities to achieve the goal of “practice once, improve once.”

Through this fire safety training and hands-on emergency drills, management’s fire safety awareness was significantly enhanced, and their emergency response capabilities were markedly improved. During practical operations, managers became proficient in the correct use of firefighting equipment and gained a deeper understanding of critical procedures such as fire alarm reporting, initial fire suppression, and evacuation. This immersive drill approach enabled management at all levels to experience the importance of fire safety in simulated emergency environments, further consolidating training outcomes and ensuring that, in the event of a real fire, they can respond swiftly and effectively, minimizing potential losses and injuries to the greatest extent possible.
