High-rise Rescue and Emergency Solar Power Shutoff Drills at Hsinpu Chemical Fiber Plant



Hsinpu Chemical Fiber Plant conducted emergency drills targeting compound disaster scenarios at its automated warehousing facility in the second half of 2024 with the goal of elevating its emergency response capability. In addition to the existing self-defense firefighting team and regional joint defense disaster relief drills, the 2024 exercise also included the high-rise rescue and emergency solar power shutoff drills to ensure readiness and immediate response during disasters. These 2024 drills include:
1. Joint exercise between the self-defense firefighting team and the regional joint defense unit:
With a large-scale disaster as the scenario, the self-defense firefighting team and the regional joint defense unit must enhance collaboration and coordination in order to facilitate proper emergency response and keep the damage under control.
2. Emergency evacuating and sheltering:
As the disaster strikes, employees must quickly evacuate to the designated shelter. The drill ensures the safety of all employee as they await the rescue in a secure area.
3. Emergency solar power shutoff:
With rooftop solar panels installed for the warehouse, the power must be shut off during a disaster. The drill simulates the emergency power shutoff to keep the electricity system from interfering with the rescue operation.
4. Fire unit transition:
The drill simulates the transition process between the external and self-defense firefighting teams to quickly equip the external firefighting unit with a full understanding of the on-site condition as well as the degree of damage in order to respond properly, keep the fire under control and prevent harm.
5. High-rise rescue using a ladder truck:
In a high-rise rescue scenario, the external firefighting unit must perform the rescue operation at the warehouse using a ladder truck.
The 2024 drills targeted compound disaster scenarios, including the fire, solar power shutoff and high-rise rescue. The exercise has improved employees’ ability to respond to disasters in a prompt and orderly fashion while enhancing safety precautions and disaster prevention.
