EMERGENCY RESPONSE DRILL EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS – WS SETU (February 2026)

Scenario: Transition from Normal Operational Activity to an Earthquake Emergency.

  1. Initial Situation (Normal Conditions): The time is [Insert Time, e.g., 10:30 AM] at the Setu Workshop. Operations are proceeding as scheduled. At the welding shop and throughout the facility, technicians and staff are focused on their tasks—welding, electrical repairs, and administrative duties. Machines are running, and team coordination is at its peak.
  2. The Earthquake Trigger: Suddenly, a loud, continuous emergency siren blares throughout the facility. A simulated tremor begins. A safety warden shouts: “EARTHQUAKE! DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON!”
  1. Immediate Response: Following safety protocols, all work stops instantly.
  • In the Workshop: Welders safely shut down their equipment to prevent fire hazards.
  • Indoors: Personnel perform the “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” maneuver, seeking shelter under sturdy tables to protect themselves from falling debris.
  • At Heights: Workers on ladders or platforms carefully descend and move away from glass and overhead hazards.
  1. Evacuation Order: Once the initial “shaking” subsides, the Safety Officer issues a clear command via megaphone: “Attention all personnel! This is an evacuation. Please leave the building immediately via the marked exit routes. Do not run, stay calm, and protect your head. Proceed to the Muster Point now!”
  1. Mobilization to the Muster Point: Employees exit the building in an orderly fashion, moving quickly but without panic. They follow the green evacuation lines on the floor, keeping their hands or bags over their heads for protection, heading toward the designated Muster Point.
  2. Accountability and Roll Call: At the Muster Point, teams assemble by department. Supervisors immediately conduct a roll call using the daily attendance sheet. This step is crucial to ensure that 100% of the workforce is accounted for and that no one remains trapped inside the workshop.
  3. Evaluation and Drill Conclusion: The HSE Manager provides a brief “After Action Review,” evaluating the evacuation time and the effectiveness of the response. “The drill is now complete. We have achieved a ‘Good’ rating in our response time and discipline. Remember, preparedness saves lives. Return to your stations and stay alert.”
