Staff at Qatar University took part in a fire safety awareness and evacuation training session recently.
Organised by the university’s Business Operations Department in coordination with IGTC-Chubb Fire, the session aimed to make staff aware of different types of fires and how to deal with them in an emergency situation using extinguishers. They were also drilled in emergency procedures and issued with a new booklet Your Guide To Emergency Procedures which simply and clearly explains how to handle different types of emergency situations. QU’s Director of Business Operations Engineer Abdulla Yacoub Al Sayed said: “These sessions are crucial in helping raise awareness of fire safety and emergency procedures across the entire university. We take this sort of training very seriously — it really can help save lives — and will ensure that all the QU community have the chance to take part.”
