ADEC conducts mock drills on a bi-annual basis to review its emergency preparedness plan and to prepare our employees to respond properly in case of any emergencies. The employees are evacuated from the building in a simulated emergency situation so that in case of an actual emergency, panic will be minimized and the team will know how to respond.
The last drill was conducted on 30th June 2022, wherein the team was evacuated from our office on the 10th floor. Employees calmly walked their way through the nearest emergency exit and proceeded to the assembly point.
The time for evacuation was 3 minutes 52 seconds, and overall 4 minutes 11 seconds from the time alarm was sounded until the fire warden did a sweep off of the area and joined at the assembly point.
The next drill will be in December 2022.
