First Lesson of the Year

Safety Conference and Fire Drill to Ensure a Safe Start to Production

As companies resume operations after the holiday period, workplace safety becomes a top priority for ensuring stable production and protecting employees. On February 24, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., the company organized a comprehensive safety meeting titled the “First Lesson of the Year” for all employees, followed by a professional fire safety training session and emergency drill. The event took place in the workshop exhibition hall and brought together staff from every department, marking an important step in strengthening safety awareness and ensuring a smooth return to work and production.

A Key Initiative to Safeguard Resumption of Work and Production

The purpose of this event was to ensure that the company’s resumption of operations proceeds safely and in accordance with government emergency management requirements. According to the official notice issued prior to the meeting, the Safety Department organized the “First Lesson of the Year” to reinforce safety management, reduce potential risks, and prevent production accidents during the early stage of post-holiday operations.

Resuming production after a holiday period can present unique safety challenges. Equipment may need to be restarted, employees return from leave, and workflows must quickly return to normal. Therefore, conducting safety education and emergency preparedness activities is essential. By organizing this meeting, the company aimed to strengthen employees’ awareness of safety responsibilities and ensure that every department understands its role in maintaining a safe production environment.

Organized Participation from All Departments

The meeting was attended by employees from across the entire organization, reflecting the company’s commitment to safety as a shared responsibility. To maintain order and efficiency during the event, specific standing arrangements were organized in advance.

At the front area of the exhibition hall, representatives from the Welding Department, Golf Cart Production Department, Packaging Department, Material Cutting Department, Skid-Steer Loader Department, Warehouse Department, Quality Inspection Department, and Planning & Technical Department were positioned in sequence. Behind them, members from the support and administrative teams—including Finance, Domestic and International Sales, E-commerce, Procurement, Visual Design, and Human Resources & Administration—stood in designated areas.

This structured arrangement helped ensure that every team was represented and able to clearly participate in the training and demonstrations. It also reinforced the message that safety management is not limited to production departments but involves the entire organization.

Safety Briefing: Building a Culture of Prevention

During the “First Lesson of the Year” meeting, the Safety Department emphasized the importance of proactive safety management. Employees were reminded that maintaining safe production is a fundamental responsibility shared by everyone in the company, from frontline workers to office staff.

Key topics discussed during the briefing included:

• Strengthening safety awareness after returning to work

• Identifying potential risks in production and operations

•  Proper use of safety equipment and protective measures

• Emergency response procedures in case of accidents

• Compliance with company safety policies and government regulations

The Safety Department also highlighted that preventing accidents is far more effective than responding to them after they occur. By reinforcing safety education at the beginning of the working year, the company aims to create a long-term culture of responsibility, vigilance, and cooperation.

Employees were encouraged to actively report safety hazards, follow standardized operating procedures, and support one another in maintaining a safe working environment.

 Practical Fire Safety Training and Emergency Drill

Following the safety meeting, the company organized a hands-on fire safety training session and emergency drill. This practical training allowed employees to apply the knowledge they had learned and gain direct experience in responding to fire-related emergencies.

Under the guidance of trained personnel, participants learned how to properly use fire extinguishers and how to respond quickly and effectively in the event of a fire. Demonstrations were conducted outdoors to ensure safety and visibility for all attendees.

During the drill, a simulated fire scenario was created using controlled materials. Employees were instructed on:

• How to identify different types of fire hazards

• The correct method of operating a fire extinguisher

• Proper stance and distance when extinguishing flames

• Coordinated teamwork during emergency response

Many employees actively participated in the exercise, practicing how to extinguish the simulated fire using portable fire extinguishers. The demonstration attracted attention and engagement from the crowd, and the training environment encouraged employees to ask questions and learn through observation and participation.

This hands-on approach helped employees better understand emergency response procedures and increased their confidence in handling real-life situations.

Enhancing Emergency Preparedness Across the Organization

Fire safety is an essential component of workplace safety, especially in manufacturing environments where equipment, electrical systems, and materials can present potential risks if not managed properly. By conducting regular training and drills, the company ensures that employees are prepared to respond quickly and effectively in emergency situations.

The fire drill also served as a reminder that safety training should be practical and continuous. Instead of relying solely on theoretical knowledge, the company emphasizes real-world exercises that help employees build practical skills and awareness.

In addition, the activity strengthened cooperation among departments. When employees participate in emergency exercises together, they develop a better understanding of communication, coordination, and teamwork during critical situations.

Digital Safety Assessment After Training

To further reinforce learning outcomes, the company arranged a unified digital assessment after the meeting and fire drill. Employees were required to complete an examination through a designated mobile mini-program.

This assessment ensured that employees understood the safety concepts covered during the training and were able to apply them in real-world situations. The online format made it convenient for all staff members to participate and allowed the company to efficiently evaluate the overall effectiveness of the training session.

Through this process, the company can identify areas that may require additional training or improvement and continue enhancing its safety management system.

Strengthening Long-Term Safety Management

The “First Lesson of the Year” initiative reflects the company’s commitment to building a comprehensive safety culture. Rather than viewing safety training as a one-time event, the company integrates it into its long-term operational strategy.

Key objectives of this initiative include:

• Ensuring a safe and stable start to the production year

• Reinforcing compliance with safety regulations and standards

• Enhancing employees’ practical emergency response capabilities

• Promoting communication and coordination among departments

• Establishing a strong foundation for continuous safety improvement

By implementing structured safety education and training programs, the company aims to reduce risks, improve operational efficiency, and protect the well-being of all employees.

A Strong Start to the New Working Year

The successful organization of the “First Lesson of the Year” meeting and fire safety drill demonstrates the company’s proactive approach to safety management. Through clear planning, department-wide participation, and practical training, employees gained valuable knowledge and experience that will support safe operations throughout the year.

As production activities continue to expand in the coming months, the company remains committed to maintaining strict safety standards and continuously improving its safety management practices. By prioritizing safety from the very beginning of the working year, the organization sets a positive tone for stable development, responsible operations, and long-term success.

The Safety Department also expressed appreciation for the cooperation and active participation of all employees. With a shared commitment to safety and responsibility, the company is confident that the new working year will proceed smoothly, efficiently, and securely.
