“Disaster and Fire Awareness Training” was organized for the personnel working at our university’s central campus on Friday, April 25, in cooperation with Bilecik Provincial Disaster and Emergency Management Office and our University’s Occupational Health and Safety Coordination Office.

The training provided theoretical and practical information in order to develop disaster awareness and learn the correct intervention methods in possible fire situations. In the first theoretical training, disaster types such as earthquake, fire, flood and landslide, precautions to be taken and what to do in times of crisis were explained in detail.

Following the training, a controlled fire scenario was implemented in an open area and fire extinguishing techniques were demonstrated to our personnel in practice. Participants had the opportunity to directly experience intervention skills, especially using a fire extinguisher.

With this comprehensive training, it was aimed for our university personnel to be prepared for emergencies such as disasters and fires and to know the correct intervention methods.
