Nui Phao proactively tackles emergencies and spreads safety culture to local communities

Safety has always been the cornerstone of sustainable development at Nui Phao Mining Company Limited. In October 2025, the company organized a firefighting and rescue drill at its plant and collaborated with local authorities to conduct fire prevention and firefighting (FPF) training at Cu Van Kindergarten (An Khanh Commune). These activities not only strengthened internal emergency response capabilities but also spread essential safety awareness and skills to the broader community.

Internal Drill: Ready for Every Emergency Situation

On October 29, 2025, Nui Phao, in coordination with the Fire Prevention, Fighting, and Rescue Police Division of Thai Nguyen Province, conducted a comprehensive firefighting and rescue exercise at the Nui Phao Mine Office.

According to the simulation scenario, around 2:00 PM, an electrical short circuit caused a fire in the materials and document warehouse in the Office area. The blaze spread rapidly, generating thick smoke that threatened nearby areas. The automatic fire alarm system was activated, and all employees promptly ceased work and evacuated under the guidance of the designated personnel.

Immediately afterward, Nui Phao’s in-house Firefighting and Rescue Team deployed fire trucks, rescue vehicles, and medical units to the site. The team was divided into two groups – one focused on firefighting, the other on rescue – working in coordination to contain the fire and safely evacuate victims.

As the fire showed signs of expanding, the on-site commander requested reinforcement from the professional firefighting force. Within minutes, the Thai Nguyen Provincial Fire Police arrived with three specialized fire engines. They swiftly deployed response teams in two directions: one for rescue, the other for extinguishing the blaze. After more than 30 minutes of coordinated effort, the fire was completely contained, ensuring the safety of both people and property.

Commenting on the drill, Lieutenant Colonel Tran Xuan Binh – Deputy Commander of Firefighting Team No. 5 – remarked: “The drill was well-organized and seriously executed. The participating forces demonstrated professionalism, readiness, and strong safety awareness – a clear reflection of the company’s proactive and responsible safety culture.”

Partnering with the Community: Building a Safe School Environment

Beyond its internal focus, Nui Phao extended its safety initiatives to the local community. On October 27, 2025, the company cooperated with the PC07 Fire Police Division of Thai Nguyen Province, An Khanh Commune Police, local militia, and healthcare units to organize a firefighting and rescue drill at Cu Van Kindergarten in An Khanh Commune.

The exercise helped teachers strengthen their emergency response skills while nurturing early safety awareness among young children. At the same time, Nui Phao presented 31 fire extinguishers to Ha Thuong Kindergarten (An Khanh Commune), helping to enhance the school’s firefighting equipment and strengthen its ability to proactively ensure safety. These initiatives clearly demonstrate Nui Phao’s commitment to working hand in hand with local communities to build a responsible, safe, and friendly learning environment.

Spreading the Safety Culture: Shared Responsibility for a Sustainable Future

From practical emergency drills to internal training programs, Nui Phao’s safety culture is being reinforced more strongly than ever.

In 2025 alone, the company trained 215 employees in firefighting and rescue operations, while organizing multiple community awareness campaigns and drills. Nui Phao’s Firefighting and Rescue Team currently consists of 131 professionally trained members, equipped with modern tools and always on standby 24/7.

Since 2022, the team has also supported the local community in handling 15 fire and rescue incidents of various scales — helping ensure safety in surrounding areas and strengthening public trust in the company.

With a spirit of proactiveness, professionalism, and responsibility, Nui Phao Mining continues to foster a strong safety culture — protecting people, safeguarding the environment, and laying a solid foundation for long-term sustainable growth.
