Division 7 Safety drills

At workplaces at which workers are usually present, safety drills must be held at regular intervals in which:

• all workers to whom specific duties have been assigned involving the use, handling or operation of emergency equipment are trained and examined in the execution of such duties, taking into account the criteria laid down in the safety and health document referred to in point 1.1.

  Where appropriate, workers must also be drilled in the correct use, handling or operation of that equipment,

• all emergency equipment used in the drill is examined, cleaned and, where appropriate, recharged or replaced and all portable equipment so used is returned to the place where it is ordinarily kept,

• survival craft are verified for operation.
