What is the emergency response guide?

It is a standardized disposal operation guide formulated in advance based on various emergency risks such as natural disasters, work safety accidents, public health incidents, and social security incidents, combined with the actual conditions of the application scenario. The core purpose is to shorten emergency response time, reduce incident losses, and avoid secondary risks caused by improper handling.

To put it bluntly, it is your "navigation to avoid pitfalls in advance" for dealing with emergencies. It looks inconspicuous at ordinary times, but if something happens to you, you don't have to think about the first step or pitfalls to avoid. Just follow it and you can minimize the risk. When I worked as a safety manager in an industrial park, I always had two rolled-up guides in my drawer, one for fire emergency response and one for dealing with extreme weather. Last summer, a red rainstorm warning was suddenly issued. I followed the steps in the guide, first asking someone to close the waterproof barrier at the entrance of the underground garage, and then notifying the merchants in low-lying areas one by one to move their goods. The whole process was completed in less than half an hour, and not even half a car in the entire park was soaked.

However, there is a lot of controversy about this thing now. Many people think that the emergency guide is just a charade to deal with inspections. Many units’ versions are copied directly from the Internet. They don’t even match the number of fire hydrants in their own unit and the location of the escape exits. It is useless to find out if something goes wrong. Many people who have been on the front line of emergency response said that they should not stick to the steps in the guide. There was a fire on the catering floor of a shopping mall in the city center. The original guide said that firefighters and other professionals should be called to the scene before organizing an evacuation. The security supervisor at the time saw that the smoke had flowed along the ventilation ducts to the viewing floor, so he immediately decided to open all the escape routes to guide customers to evacuate, 12 minutes earlier than the prescribed steps. Afterwards, at least ten people were injured due to suffocation due to thick smoke.

I have compiled three enterprise-level emergency guides for the company. My deepest feeling is that these things are never written out and nailed to the wall. They have to be updated every year as the site and personnel change. Last year, our campus built a new energy storage charging station. I immediately made up the handling items for lithium battery fires. I also led all security personnel to practice three different usage scenarios of dry powder and water-based fire extinguishers. Otherwise, it would be too late to check the information after it actually burned. Don't underestimate this thin book. When things really happen, every line is the experience gained by people who have gone through the pits before. They are not written casually.
