Evacuation kits installed

6 Jun 2009 - Maurici Galofré VILÀ, ITER Safety & Security Department

Following the rules for an emergency evacuation plan, 360 evacuation kits have recently been installed on the ground floor of the Headquarters building. Inside the bright red boxes you find a (NBC) gas mask with a filter cartridge, a pair of gloves and a jumpsuit for personal protection.

Specific information and training on the evacuation procedures and how to use the masks will be provided soon. These procedures will also form part of the Newcomers Safety Induction.

Please be reminded that the kits should only be used in an emergency situation.
