Nghe An Petroleum Company is a business unit that trades in conditional products including gasoline, lubricants, liquefied gas, and other petroleum products, so it places very high demands on fire prevention and fighting in production and business activities. In practice, in the process of its business activities, Nghe An Petroleum Company always focuses on propaganda, raising knowledge and awareness of fire and explosion prevention and fighting among officers, employees, and workers in the entire system. The company equips employees with fire prevention and fighting skills to promptly handle fire and explosion incidents through organizing annual fire fighting drills.

At warehouses and petrol and liquefied gas stores, the company invests in building fixed fire fighting systems and equipping mobile fire fighting equipment such as cars, mobile pumps, fire extinguishers, fire fighting sand, foam solution... Every year, the company spends hundreds of millions of VND on fire fighting activities such as professional training for employees; fire fighting drills; equipment investment... The company pays attention to the work of inspection, supervision and correction of violations of regulations on fire prevention and explosion at warehouses and petrol stores. Thanks to that, in the two years of 2012 - 2013, the company did not have any fire or explosion incidents.

Company leaders reported to the delegation about fire prevention and fighting work.

However, this is a business sector with a high risk of fire and explosion, while the business contacts are spread out, so the inspection and supervision work is not timely and regular. The awareness of customers complying with fire prevention regulations at gas stations and petrol stations is still limited.

In conclusion, the delegation highly appreciated the company's fire prevention and fighting work, and at the same time requested the company to continue to pay attention to promoting propaganda work to staff, employees and customers to ensure strict compliance with fire prevention and fighting regulations; strengthen coordination with agencies, units and localities to ensure absolute safety in the company's production and business. The company's recommendations will be compiled by the delegation and reported to relevant departments for resolution.
