On the CEA Valduc site project, where Eiffage Civil Engineering is the lead contractor, the GRIMP firefighters of Burgundy conducted two intervention exercises.

Ramo de Infraestruturas

17 Apr - 15:49

The agenda for this training day in hazardous environments included two scenarios aimed at achieving three objectives crucial for the successful completion of this major project.

Two scenarios were devised:

A crane operator suffered a fainting spell at 50 meters up, requiring evacuation by stretcher via a zip line.
A colleague fell from a ladder at the crinoline level, 40 meters high.

Three objectives for the construction site:

Test the responsiveness of our teams.
Test the emergency call procedure.
Test the possibilities for evacuating an employee from the crane to ground level.

This exercise is a best practice that proves essential for optimally preparing the coordination among various project stakeholders in case of an emergency.
