By Huraizah Ahmad

Bandar Seri Begawan - Over 120 employees from the Royal Brunei Catering (RBC) Aircraft Catering Centre (ACC) joined a fire drill where three "trapped victims" were rescued by the Fire Safety Brigade from the Department of Civil Aviation.

Two fire truck engines manned by eight fire safety personnel were present during the drill. Commanding Officer (Head' of Operations) of the Civil Aviation Fire Safety Department, Abdul Rahman Safar and Deputy, Mujib Islam led the fire safety team to assess the drill.

The drill is done every year to ensure that all personnel are aware of all safety procedures in case of fire emergencies. These include switching off all electrical and flammable gas appliances, exiting through proper fire exits and assembling at allocated assembly area, said RBC Aircraft Catering Manager Faridah Teo Abdullah.

We need to continuously update all RBC personnel on proper safety procedures while integrating a more successful procedure to be implemented for emergency procedures, she said.

Two assembly zones, in front and at the back of the Aircraft Catering Centre, were prepared for any emergency.

Aside from holding in-house fire safety trainings, RBC also sends its personnel for fire safety training at the Fire Safety Department in Berakas, said RBC Personnel & Services Manager, Siti Normah Haji Talip.

RBC has selected fire wardens who will be responsible in accounting all personnel on duty and disseminating proper safety procedures for their departments, she said. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
