Employees learn how to
bring a blazing gas tank under control.
Vittaya Yoondorn
About 40 Central Festival Pattaya Beach employees practiced how to
handle fuel leaks and fight fires during an emergency-preparedness drill
at the beachfront mall.
Central regional director Saran Tantijamnaj opened the Sept. 27 training
session with police and store executives on hand.
Thanet Sawangsree, senior manager for losses prevention, led the
training exercise in the sixth-floor parking lot, which covered leaking
fuel from parked vehicles, people threatening to jump from the high-rise
or terrorist attacks. He also discussed extinguishing oil, gas and
electrical fires.
Thanet said the mall organizes four training sessions a year due to its
belief in the importance of safety. The training and practice session
has been organized for the benefit of employees who would be faced with
protecting shoppers.
