How often should firefighting plan drills be held in Vietnam?
According to Article 10 of Circular 149/2020/TT-BCA, time limit for firefighting plan drills is as follows:
1. Drills of facility firefighting plans mentioned in Point a Clause 3 Article 19 of Decree No. 136/2020/ND-CP must take place at least once a year and on an ad hoc basis upon request for assurance of fire safety of special local political, economic, cultural and social events. Each drill may include one or more than one fire scenario but all scenarios in the plan must be featured in a drill.
2. Drills of firefighting plans of police authorities mentioned in Points b and c Clause 3 Article 19 of Decree No. 136/2020/ND-CP shall take place at the request of persons competent in approving the plans. The police authority in charge of a firefighting plan drill must notify the drill time to the Chairperson of the commune-level People’s Committee and head of the facility where the drill takes place at least 05 working days before drill day and send a request for mobilization of forces and equipment to regulatory bodies, organizations, households and individuals mobilized for the drill at least 05 working days before drill day.
Thus, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, drills of facility firefighting plans must take place at least once a year. The unit must notify in writing the Chairperson of the commune-level People’s Committee where the drill takes place at least 05 working days before drill day.
