OREANDA-NEWS. The "OKKO" filling station network together with the State Service of Emergency in Rivne held large training aimed to make the staff know how to behave properly in case of fire or a threat of fire at the filling station. There were modeled some of the most typical situations during the training when on the filling station may occur fire. In all situations, the "OKKO" staff and the Ministry for Emergencies acted skillfully and consistently.

Training took place on "OKKO" filling station in Rivne at the address Kyivska st., 84. The participants were employees of the network not only from the Rivne region, but also from other regions.

According to the script of the first emergency, in power grid has shorted. In this case, the filling station staff coped with the fire source on its own.

The second point of training was a situation in which two cars collided on the filling station, resulting that in one of the cars were traumatized people and from the other - leaked and caught fire fuel. At such scale of accident, filling station workers as it should be by the instruction, called rescuers, doctors and employees of the State Automobile Inspection.

- Trainings, which was initiated by PE "OKKO-oil product" have been excellent, - said the representative of the State Service of Emergency in Rivne region Sergiy Pavlovskyi. - We always welcome such cooperation, because we improve our own skills, too, and filling station workers learn how to act during an emergency.

- In the "OKKO" network theoretical and practical trainings take place several times a year, on which we learn to localize and to eliminate potential emergencies. At the same time we try at least twice a year to involve in our training rescuers, - says the head of labor protection, technogenic and fire safety department of PJSC "Сoncern Galnaftogaz" Ivan Man'ko. - It is impossible to protect filling stations from emergencies fully, so our goal of trainings - to predict possible dangers maximum, and to explore how to prevent them or at least to minimize. And the result is significant. For example, last year's trainings, similar to Rivne, we held in L'viv. Two of our operators extinguished conventional fire. And two months later their work shift faced with real fire. In the car that drove on the filling station the engine caught fire. These operators extinguished the flames so quickly, that the driver did not even have time to figure out what happened.
