November 2026 marks the 10th National Fire Safety Publicity Month in China. To effectively advance safety initiatives, fortify internal fire defenses, and enhance employees' overall fire prevention and emergency response capabilities, Luoyang Bearing Research Institute Co., Ltd. (ZYS) organized a comprehensive fire safety event on November 10. Centered on this year's national theme, "Fire Safety for All, Life Above All — Enhancing Self-Prevention and Self-Rescue Capabilities," the program integrated theoretical fire safety training, an emergency evacuation drill, and hands-on firefighting exercises to strengthen workplace safety through practical learning.

Prior to the event, Wang Kebei, Assistant to the General Manager, delivered a mobilization speech. Addressing the specific operational realities of the company, he analyzed current fire safety pressures and highlighted potential hazards in workshop operations and electrical equipment usage within office areas. He urged all employees to value the training opportunity, master fire safety knowledge, and hone their emergency response skills. Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of proactively identifying and eliminating workplace hazards to prevent incidents before they occur, thereby safeguarding the company's overall production safety. Moving away from purely theoretical lectures, the training session focused on practical applications, covering fire fundamentals, common ignition sources, early-stage fire detection, key fire prevention protocols for workshops and offices, and electrical hazard inspections. By analyzing real-world fire accident case studies, the instructor explained post-fire precautions, common evacuation misconceptions, on-site protection methods, and emergency reporting procedures. Attendees took detailed notes throughout the session, correcting prior misconceptions and significantly reinforcing their practical safety knowledge.

Following the training, the emergency evacuation drill commenced at the sound of a simulated fire alarm. Guided by the emergency response plan and on-site coordinators, participants immediately halted their work, covered their mouths and noses, crouched low, and evacuated in an orderly manner along designated routes to the safe assembly area. The well-organized and tightly coordinated drill effectively tested the company's evacuation procedures and sharpened employees' rapid response and self-rescue capabilities. During the hands-on firefighting session, on-site instructors demonstrated the proper operation and safety precautions for dry powder fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and fire hydrants. Participants then practiced extinguishing simulated fires in batches, familiarizing themselves with the equipment and boosting their ability to tackle incipient fires.

Upon conclusion of the exercises, staff conducted an after-action review to identify areas for improvement and establish clear corrective measures. By combining classroom instruction with practical drills, the event effectively elevated fire safety awareness and emergency response readiness across the workforce. Moving forward, ZYS will continue to uphold the principle of "putting prevention first and combining prevention with firefighting." The company remains committed to normalizing safety education, intensifying hazard inspections, diversifying training formats, and addressing gaps in emergency management to ensure a solid safety foundation for stable and orderly operations.
