AREX Safety Guide #4 Introduction to Safety Facilities Within the Subway Train

In 2019, AREX was selected as a top institution in terms of disaster management.

AREX takes responsibility for the safety of all of you,

So let’s take a look at each of safety facilities within the trains

Safety Facilities Within the Passenger Cars

1.     Door Emergency Handle

Do not panic in case of an emergency, but, rather, open the cover on the door emergency handle and turn it to the right.  The door may now be opened manually and with ease.

2. Fire Extinguishers at Either Side of the Passenger Cars

If a small fire breaks out, swiftly extinguish it by using the fire extinguishers on either side of the car so that the fire does not grow larger.

3. Emergency Call Devices on Either Side of the Passenger Cars

In case of an emergency, you may use the emergency call devices on either side of the passenger cars to speak with an engineer.

4. Fire Detector Within the Trains

The fire detectors within the passenger cars can detect both smoke and heat and will alert the engineer room, thus making handling a swift evacuation possible.

Apart from the safety facilities within the passenger cars, there is also emergency equipment within the engineer’s cabin.

Emergency Equipment Within the Engineer’s Cabin

1. Gas Masks

Gas masks are located in both engineer rooms on either side of trains so that passengers may use them in case of an emergency.

2. Emergency Folding Stretchers

Stretchers are available for passengers in serious condition so that they may swiftly be rescued.

3. Outside Emergency Ladder

Emergency ladders are located on either side of the train in the engineer rooms

Allowing for passengers to evacuate in case of a fire or other emergency.

This concludes our talk on the safety facilities available within the AREX subway trains. :)
