Fostering a Culture of Prevention and Preparedness

Every workplace, whether at home or in an industrial setting, carries some degree of occupational risk. One of the most common and potentially devastating hazards is fire. Fire incidents can occur unexpectedly, making it essential for individuals to develop the necessary skills to handle such emergencies effectively and prevent harm to both people and property.
 
Recognizing the critical importance of fire safety, the Adar Poonawalla Clean City Initiative (APCCI) recently organized two comprehensive fire safety workshops for its dedicated waste warriors. The first session took place at the Adar Estate parking location in Hadapsar, while the second was held in Yerawada. These workshops aimed to educate frontline workers on fire prevention, emergency response, and personal safety measures, empowering them to protect themselves and their communities from potential fire-related threats.
 
The workshops were led by seasoned experts—Mr. Anil Gaikwad, Station Duty Officer at Kale Borate Nagar, conducted the session in Hadapsar, while Mr. Sandip Pawar led the training in Yerawada. The training covered a range of crucial topics, including tackling different types of fire incidents, proper handling of fire extinguishers, and managing emergencies such as falls in open drainages and tree collapses, which are common occurrences during the monsoon season. Given that waste warriors often encounter such incidents in their daily work, the workshop provided essential hands-on training to enhance their emergency response skills.


 A total of 375 waste warriors from Eastern Pune participated in the initiative, demonstrating a strong commitment to fostering a culture of prevention and preparedness. This collaborative effort between APCCI and the Fire Safety Department of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) underscores the significance of equipping frontline workers with life-saving knowledge and skills. By prioritizing fire safety education, APCCI continues to champion the well-being of its workforce and the broader community, ensuring a safer and more resilient environment for all.
