Dear All,
I know many organizations where a mock drill is just a formality. Often, it is considered a hurdle in day-to-day operations. Please go through the attached presentation. If you remember the floods in Mumbai on 26.07.2005, and the offshore fire on the same day, it emphasizes the importance of a Mock Drill. I use this for training purposes. Very useful.

Dear Sudhir,
Thank you for sharing the educative presentation with our members. Real-life events always have a great impact on the minds of the public during training and induction programmes. Conducting mock drills will provide good guidance for those in need during their crucial hours.
Keep on sharing, Sudhir.

Dear Sudhir,
I partially agree with your words. I want to draw your attention to the construction industry and plant activities in India. I think there are few people who are aware of the importance, planning, and how to conduct mock drills. This is the reality of our industry.
I agree with your second point regarding the Bombay High accident. If people are aware of mock drills, the impact of accidents may be reduced. However, expecting to completely reduce the severity of accidents through mock drills may be difficult.
Regarding your first point about the Mumbai flood on 26.07.2005, can you tell me that not only in India, but every country is facing problems like high tides, tsunamis, floods, earthquakes, etc.? We do not have control over natural calamities; it's very difficult. In our company's safety policies, we mention mock drills for all types of emergencies. But I want to know, if any natural calamities or disasters happen, how can we conduct mock drills during that period?
Also, please do not forget the Jaipur Depot accident case.
I agree that mock drill awareness is very important in all areas, including offices, construction sites, plant operations, refineries, etc.
We have to plan mock drills according to working criteria and conduct them periodically. Safety professionals should prepare mock drill planning, seek approval from management, and then conduct the mock drills.
I would like to share my experience. I have observed that some safety department personnel (from different companies) are not aware of mock drills, and management never asks for them to be conducted.
Why do these things happen? It's due to negligence and not taking proper initiative.
This is only my personal opinion.
Thanks & Regards.
