Emirates Post Group, EPG, has conducted a fire drill at its Dubai headquarters and Ajman Central Post Office as part of the group’s emergency preparedness programme, and continuous efforts to enhance safety in the workplace.

The drill was carried out in coordination with the Dubai Department of Civil Defence, Dubai Police, and the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance allowing for a full and comprehensive evacuation exercise. The mock drill measured the readiness of employees to follow safety procedures as well as the preparedness of the civil defence teams and its designated partners in countering fire emergencies.

"In addition to raising awareness, safety exercises such as this play a major role in supporting our strategy to keep our premises safe," said Sami Al Khaja, Executive Director of the Support Services Sector. "This drill also provides an opportunity for all participants to experience what it actually feels like to be caught in a fire situation and, most importantly, to learn how to effectively minimise risk factors. We sincerely thank all the teams involved in our fire prevention and safety efforts."
