The Housing, Urban Development & Public Health Engineering Department (HUD & PHED) has mandated fire safety training for all Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) employees stationed at disposal sites throughout Punjab. Consequently, Punjab WASA has mandated managing directors to collaborate with district Rescue 1122 offices to organize practical, hands-on training sessions for disposal station staff.
The primary objective of this mandatory program is to establish uniform fire safety protocols and enhance field personnel's emergency response capabilities. Training modules will encompass fundamental fire safety principles, hazard recognition, and emergency response strategies, complemented by hands-on exercises organized in partnership with Rescue 1122.
WASAs are further obligated to record video footage and photographs of each training session conducted at disposal stations. Detailed compliance reports, accompanied by video transcripts, must be submitted to Punjab WASA and the HUD & PHED Secretary for centralized tracking and documentation. This directive received approval from the Punjab HUD & PHED Secretary.
