NDRF Trains World Bank Staff in Disaster Response
23 Jun
Summary
- NDRF conducted a training camp for World Bank and AIIB project staff.
- Focus was on emergency preparedness and lifesaving skills.
- Training included earthquake, flood management, and first-aid protocols.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) recently organized a crucial training camp and live demonstration for personnel engaged in a canal-based surface water supply project. This initiative, funded by the World Bank and AIIB, was designed to significantly upgrade emergency preparedness and bolster resilience among the project's workforce.
Staff members, engineers, supervisors, and laborers received hands-on tactical training. This included essential one-man rescue techniques, effective bleeding control methods, and the first-aid management of arm dislocations. NDRF experts also demonstrated critical medical response procedures, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Furthermore, the training addressed large-scale natural disasters, with a special focus on earthquake and flood management protocols. Participants learned practical survival techniques, structural evacuation procedures, and safety measures for seismic events, along with risk-minimization strategies for public safety during severe flooding.
This capacity-building program aligns with international workplace standards and is considered integral to the project's environmental, social, health, and safety framework, according to SE Parul Goyal.
