Fire Safety

BASIC FIRE SAFETY RULES

The territory of the terminal is safe, but the possibility of minor incidents shall not be ruled out. We are kindly asking you to follow the requirements of CJSC “PNT”, which are mandatory for all the employees and visitors.

On the territory of the Company the following is PROHIBITED:

Using open fire

Smoking outside the specially designated areas

Using mobile phones in RED ZONES

CJSC PNT territory zoning

The territory of our Company is divided into three zones:

  • Green
  • Orange
  • Red

There are no hazardous and harmful production factors in the GREEN zone (administrative buildings and adjacent territories m, utility rooms, roads surrounding the perimeter of the Terminal), therefore the use of personal protection devices (PPE) is not reqired in this area.

The ORANGE zones (internal roads and driveways on the territory of PNT) include areas with minimal harmful production factors, therefore, to enter these areas, you need to use a minimum set of PPE (a helmet, safety-toed shoes and protective clothing), which you can get at the Health, Safety and Environment Department.

In RED zones (unloading stations, storage tanks, racks, pump houses, boiler rooms, wastewater treatment facilities, berthing facilities, truck unloading stations), the impact of hazardous production factors is possible, therefore, it is mandatory to use the entire set of PPE designated for entering these areas.
