LPG Training and Drill Held at Değirmenlik High School
A new one has been added to the technical safety and fire security training sessions that Intergaz Ltd. started in 2011. Training and a drill were organized at Değirmenlik High School. The event at Değirmenlik High School began with a speech by Intergaz Ltd. Deputy General Manager Kader Kencer. Kencer, noted that Intergaz Ltd. has carried out many activities within the scope of social responsibility to date and will continue to do so. Kencer expressed their pleasure as a company in providing training to various institutions and organizations. He emphasized the importance of these training sessions, stating that they had previously trained many primary, middle, high school, and university students, as well as personnel from other institutions. Kencer, said, "As Intergaz Ltd., we are very pleased to be together with the students and teachers of Değirmenlik High School. Drills organized with great care and an expert team, where all necessary precautions are taken, are of vital importance. We will continue to provide theoretical and practical information on LPG fire and fire training." "Theoretical information and training were provided." In the first part of the LPG Information and Fire Extinguishing Training, Intergaz Technical Manager and Mechanical Engineer Cem Saldoğan gave technical information about the characteristic features of LPG. Following the technical presentation, Intergaz fire consultant Resul Dilek from Turkey provided training on fire response methods, as well as which type of fire extinguisher should be used for which type of fire. Dilek also gave advice to students and teachers, drawing attention to the importance of conducting drills as much as theoretical training. Stating that preparing themselves in the best way for emergencies they may encounter throughout their lives will save lives in the future, Dilek said, "From building evacuation to the use of fire extinguishing devices, training must be supported with regular drills." "A fire extinguishing drill was conducted." A drill on responding to LPG fires was conducted in the garden of Değirmenlik High School. Intergaz personnel, who took extensive security measures in the schoolyard, first gave hands-on training on what to do in case of a fire. Afterwards, they reinforced this knowledge with a drill. In the drill, selected teachers and students extinguished burning LPG cylinders, learning and applying step-by-step what to do during a fire. During the drill for responding to burning LPG cylinders, a practical demonstration was held on how to respond to fires with a towel or blanket in homes without a fire extinguisher. After the drill, fire extinguishers were presented as gifts to the school administration and participants. The students took souvenir photos with the Intergaz personnel and their mascots. The students, who showed great interest in the mascot for the pink cylinders specially released for the October 1-31, 2019 Breast Cancer Awareness Month, both had fun and gained awareness.
