No.E(MPP)2016/3/1, dated 27.01.2016
Sub: Training on fire safety to Railway staff.
Ref: Rly. Board’s letter No.E(MPP)98/3/8, dated 11.02.2003 (RBE No. 28/2003) & E(MPP)2009/3/44, dated 14.10.2009 (RBE No. 185/2009).
C&AG, vide paras 1.1.19 & 1.6.10 of the report of Corporate Safety Plan (2003-13), has inter alia recommended that:-
“the maintenance staff also needed to be trained on fire fighting/ use of fire extinguishers like running staff (TTE, Coach Attendant, catering staff etc.). Railways should also intensify awareness of staff through mock drills and training on fire fighting.”
In view of the above recommendation, Board has now decided that the initial and periodic refresher training course for all employees (both safety & non-safety and Maintenance Staff) of Indian Railways should have a programme on fire fighting/ use of fire extinguishers. Railways should also have periodic mock drills towards fire fighting and use of fire extinguishers for their staff.
Railways are requested to reiterate Board’s instructions in regard to fire fighting to all the training centres falling within their jurisdiction and ensure, and report compliance thereof.
