Take Flood Prevention Measures to Guarantee the Operation and Stabilize the Development - Owada Makes Active Preparation for Flood Control& Disaster Alleviation

Since mid-to-late April, Guangzhou has entered the season for more extremely inclement weather, often accompanied by thunderstorms, strong winds and heavy rainfall. In order to prevent disaster accidents caused by inclement weather, build a “safety dam” for the flood season and ensure steady operation of the industrial park, Owada Flavours Technology (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (“Guangzhou Owada”) has responded actively, made full preparation, and carried out a series of flood control and disaster alleviation arrangements.

I. Seriously carry out training before the flood and fulfill the main responsibility

General Manager of Guangzhou Owada requested that all relevant departments should be deeply aware of the characteristics of the disaster accidents, such as the wide range of influence of extremely inclement weather, the great intensity in some areas, and the possibility of causing casualties or property losses. We must pay high attention to the disaster accidents, clarify the main responsibility of the relevant personnel, establish a sound emergency rescue system, and make full preparation for relief supplies.

We have drawn inferences from the past practical experience in flood control and disaster relief, well understood our actions for flood control, and comprehensively enhanced the awareness of responsibility for flood control and the emergency disposal capability for disaster prevention.

II. Organize special inspection on flood prevention work

Guangzhou Owada has carried out special inspection on flood prevention work, and strengthened potential risks identification and prevention measures. We have intensified the security inspection and supervision, and conducted comprehensive joint inspection on the high and low voltage power room, water pump house, production workshop, warehouse, office building, dormitory and other areas in the industrial park. We have also dredged the drainage channel on the roof in advance, cleaned up the underground pipelines, and broken through the “last meter” of the flood control and disaster reduction channel.

At the same time, we have widely strengthened the promotion of knowledge about and precautions against extremely inclement weather, so as to ensure that the employees strictly control the safety production gateway against thunderstorm, rainfall and lightning within their respective responsibilities.

III. Constantly improve and enhance the emergency response capability during flood season

We have paid close attention to the key parts that may cause hazards during flood season, strengthened the measure to transfer and avoid risks, and timely detected the disaster symptoms, so as to move people or items that may be at risk in advance.

Guangzhou Owada has strengthened emergency watch-over and implemented the 24-hour on-duty inspection system. It is required that all should maintain a high degree of vigilance to ensure the safety of personnel and property in the industrial park.

Guangzhou Owada will adhere to the bottom-line thinking, strictly identify the hidden danger, and continue to strengthen the emergency response capability during the flood season, know fairly well the duty, and go all out to provide strong and powerful guarantee for the steady operation of the industrial park.
