Evacuation Drill

At 13:25 hours on December 12, with the sound of sirens located in different strategic points of the production areas, the evacuation simulation to the year 2018 began.

With the activation of the alarms that meant an earthquake, the logistics of the employees were also activated to know how to act before a real event and protect their lives. From each of the production areas, the employees began to move along the evacuation routes already established, and in an average time of 15 minutes, the 280 people who participated in the activity had already concentrated in the General Meeting Point, located in the company’s main parking lot.

This is the second year that this activity has been carried out in IUSA, and it is part of the effort that is made so that all of us who work here strengthen our knowledge on how to act in a situation that forces the evacuation of employees who are inside the facilities of the company, since it serves as an instruction to all the employees.
