Similar events are held annually in order to improve a mechanism for safe evacuation of people in the case of a fire.
According to the scenario, a fire was occurred at the second floor in the technical library premises. Actions of the personnel in case of a fire and its interaction with the fire and rescue brigades were exercised during the training.
"There were no difficulties. All acted very well. Overall assessment of the training is satisfactory. All were evacuated on time, even under condition that the personnel was evacuated through the access control system (using the digital entry badge). 170 people left the building within 6 minutes", — summarizes Dmitro Gulyaev, Deputy Head of Departmental Fire Safety Supervision Department.
Evacuation through the access control system allowed to control the number of persons left the building.
