Today our dept had a fire drill/escape talk by our colleague, J, the fire coordinator. The talk was so ‘interesting’ that i could sleep and J did not even prepare beforehand and getting his facts right. People had to keep correcting him on things.
Example 1: Most fire exits in our dept are control by the fire alrams and opens automatically when the fire alarms goes off. However, there are a few that are manually locked due to the system being spolit at those doors. He didnt even find out about it and told us that we can exit from those doors when we needed keys for those doors.
Example 2: He didnt know how to use the fire hose and tried to smoke through. People asked him about how to turn on the hose, how long can the hose extend to, etc. He couldnt answer and the director even asked him ‘Why didnt you prepare or know beforehand? You are supposed to know all this before talking to us.” I had to teach him how to use the fire hose. People had to asked him to try the firehose so that he knows how to use it.
Example 3: One of my colleague asked a question ‘What if we have problem walking when we injured or like the cleaner who has a walking problem?’ His reply was ‘Then you should be at home. If you are at work then u stay behind and wait for rescue. Same for the cleaner. I’m supposed to be the 1st to leave the office so that I can be at the evacuation point to do the headcount. I can’t stay and help. I’m only a coordinator’ What a nice answer. I really love this. So we are supposed to burn to death while waiting for rescue.
I don’t know what goes through his mind other than eating and thinking of himself.
My colleagues commented immediately after the talk. The exact words were ‘Waste of time!’ Right on. Wasted my time and made me leave my Ney alone for so long.
