In an effort to promote awareness on fire safety among its employees, India Yamaha Motor (IYM) observed the Fire Service Week during April 14-20th across its plants in Greater Noida, Faridabad and Chennai. The national theme for this year is to “Prevent Fire Accident- Promote Nation’s Development.”
For the purpose, IYM organized various activities at its plants and offices. The Fire Safety banners were displayed at conspicuous locations and training on Fire Fighting was conducted for the nominated fire safety coordinators to get them acquainted with the basic fire-fighting equipment.
Fire Drills were also conducted with the objective of checking the emergency preparedness & response plan in case of an emergency situation. During Fire Drill, mock scenario of fire is created & emergency plan is rehearsed to check the readiness of the Emergency Response Team.
In addition, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Wearing Competition and Fire Safety Quiz were also organized. The activities helped every individual realize the importance of properly controlled Fire and the need to prevent, control, contain & mitigate any untoward incident at the work place.
As a responsible Corporate, Yamaha has always laid emphasis on its commitment towards excellence in Safety. Fire Service Week is observed every year in all the IYM plants to enhance Fire Safety awareness among the employees.
The Fire Service Week is observed nation-wide during this period in remembrance of the lives lost in the devastating fire that erupted and the explosions that followed on 14th April, 1944 at the Victoria Dock in the Bombay Port and also to prevent fire in all industries.
