HÖRMANN Automotive: Plant fire department practices rescue on a press
Rapid and problem-free rescue operations on the plant fire department's training days.
In order to be prepared in an emergency, the Gustavsburg plant fire department practiced for an emergency at the HÖRMANN Automotive plant. The realistic scenario: a maintenance worker has been seriously injured while working on a press. He is no longer able to walk and has to be rescued from the press quickly but carefully. For rescues from heights and depths, the plant fire department has a rescue device specially designed for these situations for abseiling people up and down. An external instructor was brought in for the intensive training, who trained the firefighters in the use of the device in a theoretical and a practical part. In order to give all firefighters the opportunity to work with the so-called Rollgliss for abseiling, the exercise was carried out three times in different small groups during the training days. The rescue operation went quickly and smoothly for all of them.
