Exercises to eliminate a simulated accident were held at Energomash

At the end of February 2021, NPO Energomash (part of the Roscosmos State Corporation) conducted exercises to localize and eliminate the consequences of a simulated accident at a hazardous production facility. The main goal of the exercise was to train workers employed at hazardous production facilities to act in the event of an accident, as well as to train dispatcher service notification, interaction between rescue services and enterprise and security units.

Such exercises to localize and eliminate the accident were organized for the first time, but in the future they will become regular.

Boris Baranov, head of the department for labor protection, ecology and industrial safety: “According to the drill scenario, the piping of the liquid oxygen tank was partially destroyed, as a result of which it was released into the environment. Emergency and rescue services acted smoothly and efficiently.” .

The exercises were attended by the forces of the special fire and rescue unit No. 6, the brigade of the Central Medical and Medical Unit No. 3, the professional emergency rescue unit “Tekhnospas” g. Khimki. Employees of NIK-751 were able to assess the actions of the emergency and rescue services and, most importantly, once again convinced themselves of the need to comply with safety measures when working at hazardous production facilities, because any mistake or rash actions of the personnel can lead to sad consequences.

Based on the results of the training, the operational headquarters analyzed the event and adjusted the actions of all participants for the next exercise.
