A cordial greeting to the entire read.cash community, this time I bring you information about the importance of having an emergency brigade in companies, or industries, which may be in charge of any accident that may occur within the companies that endanger the integrity of their workers.
Emergencies ...
Emergencies can be man-made or natural.
Why are the industrial brigades formed?
The industrial brigades are born from the application of a resolution issued by the National Executive, through Official Decree No. 2195 (formerly Decree No. 46), "Regulation on Fire Prevention" dated 8/17/83, which in Article 22 specifies the obligation of every public or private entity to form, train and maintain a brigade.
What are the emergency brigade?
The industrial brigades are groups of people, workers from the different areas of the company, whose main function is the prevention and protection of lives, property and the environment of the company.
What are the brigadistas?
The brigadistas are a group of company workers who provide their service voluntarily, duly trained and trained to respond to an emergency at the company's facilities.

The industrial brigadistas have among their primary functions:

Participate in training programs and integrate family and friends into the activities of the brigade in order to stimulate a coexistence that transcends the labor barrier.

It is the area designated for staff to concentrate when an emergency occurs.
Every company, educational institution, or any space where there are people who interact in different activities regardless of their nature, should have a safe area or meeting point in case of an emergency or contingency, this space is defined as the demarcated area and duly identified whose function is to offer a security guarantee for people who have evacuated a certain space as a result of a possible emergency, in short it is a meeting point in case of eviction.
