Cikarang, Indonesia – PT Metal One Steel Service Indonesia has once again reaffirmed its strong commitment to occupational health and safety by holding its annual Fire Drill Simulation. This year’s exercise was carried out with a higher level of detail and preparedness, taking place in both daytime and nighttime sessions, ensuring readiness under different working conditions.

Comprehensive Emergency Response Simulation

The drill began with an emergency alarm triggered to simulate the outbreak of fire within the company’s facilities. Employees were immediately instructed to evacuate the premises in an orderly manner, guided by floor leaders and safety marshals. The evacuation route was tested for efficiency, and assembly points were monitored to ensure all employees were safely accounted for.

Following the evacuation, the scenario continued with casualty handling. A number of employees acted as mock victims, enabling the emergency response team to practice first aid procedures such as CPR, bandaging, and safe transportation of injured personnel. This stage was critical in testing the company’s ability to provide immediate medical assistance before professional help arrived.

Coordination with External Emergency Services

As part of the simulation, the safety team performed mock emergency calls to the fire department and ambulance services, ensuring communication protocols were followed correctly. The drill reinforced the importance of speed and accuracy in reporting, including providing clear details of the incident, the number of casualties, and the type of assistance required.

By simulating this coordination, employees gained valuable experience in interacting with external responders and understood how crucial it is to maintain calm and clarity during a real emergency.

Day and Night Scenarios for Maximum Readiness

A distinctive feature of this year’s fire drill was the inclusion of both daytime and nighttime simulations. The daytime exercise was designed for regular shift employees, while the nighttime drill targeted employees working during late shifts.

This approach ensured that every worker, regardless of their schedule, received the same level of training and exposure to emergency protocols. Conducting the drill at different times also highlighted potential challenges unique to night operations, such as reduced visibility, lower staffing levels, and the need for additional coordination.

Teamwork and Solid Emergency Response Unit

Throughout the drill, the company’s emergency response team showcased solid teamwork, quick decision-making, and discipline. Employees followed instructions carefully, demonstrating their growing awareness of the importance of safety practices. The management expressed appreciation for the dedication of the team and emphasized that safety is not only a regulatory requirement but also a core company value.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement

The fire drill simulation is part of PT Metal One Steel Service Indonesia’s annual safety program, designed to improve preparedness, minimize risks, and strengthen employee confidence in handling emergencies. Feedback from the drill will be used to identify areas for improvement, ensuring that next year’s simulation will be even more effective.

In his closing remarks, the company’s safety manager highlighted the importance of continuous training:

“Preparedness is the key to safety. By conducting these simulations regularly, both during the day and night, we ensure that every employee knows their role and responsibility. Our goal is not just compliance, but creating a workplace culture where safety is everyone’s priority.”

Building a Safer Workplace

PT Metal One Steel Service Indonesia remains committed to fostering a safe and resilient working environment. The successful completion of this year’s Fire Drill Simulation underscores the company’s proactive approach to emergency preparedness, ensuring that employees, facilities, and operations are well-protected in the event of an actual emergency.
