“That’s the fire department’s job!” is something you often hear when it comes to fire safety.

However, since a fire at the company poses a serious threat, every Korrodin employee is called upon to be informed about fire safety.

Regular training for all employees is essential in order to practice and raise awareness of the correct behavior in the event of a fire. Only when the necessary measures and rules of conduct are “lived” and are not dismissed as an inconvenience can dangers and damage be reduced or – ideally – even prevented.

Despite all structural and technical precautions:
Every company needs to think about how to respond in the event of a fire. The procedure must be planned and organized.

To ensure workplace safety, some Korrodin employees have received fire safety
assistant training.
The goal was to be able to take immediate initial actions in the event of a fire.

The participants were taught the necessary basic knowledge at the training center of the Nuremberg Fire Department by two instructors who had many years of experience as firefighters.

We especially want to highlight that, for the first time – in addition to our “long-serving” employees – a trainee and a “recent graduate” were found for this responsible position. Keep up the good work!
