In an effort to enhance safety measures and ensure the well-being of its employees, AMPROS, a leading supplier of electric and hybrid propulsion systems, recently conducted a comprehensive fire training program at its facilities. The training aimed to equip employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively respond to fire incidents associated with these innovative propulsion technologies.
The increasing adoption of electric and hybrid propulsion in multiple industries, including marine raises the demand for environmentally friendly yet highly effective systems. However, with these advanced technologies come unique safety considerations, particularly regarding the risk of fire incidents. Recognizing the significance of employee education and the need for a proactive approach to fire safety, AMPROS organized a series of training sessions that covered various aspects of fire prevention, detection, and suppression. The sessions were conducted by experienced fire safety professionals who specialize in dealing with electrical and battery-related fires.
During the training, participants learned about the fundamental principles of fire behaviour, electrical fire hazards, and the importance of early detection and swift response. They were trained in using specialized fire extinguishing agents suitable for electric and hybrid propulsion systems, as well as how to safely evacuate affected areas and provide assistance to others during emergency situations. AMPROS emphasized the significance of creating a culture of safety and vigilance among its employees. The training program not only instilled the necessary technical skills but also promoted a sense of responsibility and awareness regarding fire safety in the workplace. Through practical exercises and simulations, participants had the opportunity to apply their knowledge and gain hands-on experience in controlling and extinguishing fires.
As the industry continues to evolve and push boundaries, AMPROS sets an exemplary standard by prioritizing safety and ensuring its workforce possesses the necessary expertise to handle any fire-related challenges that may arise in the production and development of electric and hybrid propulsion systems.
