Systec spent the day with our client Hach Pacific conducting Fire Suppression and Spill Containment Training. Our aim was to equip Hach Pacific’s employees with the skills and knowledge needed to handle emergencies effectively and safely.
We had a look at their emergency response procedures and conducted a gap analysis with the team before venturing out to make some flames and obviously extinguisher them.
Our fire suppression and spill containment training focused on essential topics. We taught employees about different fire types and how to extinguish them properly, providing hands-on practice with various fire extinguishers. We also covered evacuation procedures and fire prevention techniques, emphasizing the importance of clear escape routes and safe storage of flammable materials and removing waste and redundant chemicals from their warehouse. These practical sessions aimed to build confidence and readiness among the participants as not everyone is comfortable with fire and the effects that it can cause, so this was a great confidence boost for the team.
Simultaneously, the spill kit response training was tailored to meet the specific needs of Hach Pacific’s operations. We trained employees to identify and assess chemical spills, contain them effectively, and use spill kits correctly. The training included clear instructions on cleaning up spills and disposing of contaminated materials properly. We also stressed the importance of reporting spills promptly for effective follow-up and prevention.
The training had a positive impact, with Hach Pacific’s employees showing increased confidence and a stronger commitment to safety. The improved teamwork and safety culture we observed were especially rewarding. At Systec, we are proud to have contributed to Hach Pacific’s safety efforts and look forward to continuing our partnership to ensure a safe working environment for their team.
Next with Hach we will be focusing on individual chemical response needs as they stock around 2000 different types of chemicals and supply internationally.
