International field training “EU-CHEM-REACT 2" has been completed in Lviv region
Today, the International field training that took place in Lviv region within the framework of the EU-CHEM-REACT 2 project with the participation of 5 countries was completed. Ukraine was represented by Lviv State University of Life Safety.
Participants of the exercises from Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, the Republic of Poland and Ukraine worked out algorithms for three days during the elimination of emergency situations of various nature: distribution of hazardous chemicals on the road, accidents, fires in a 9-storey building, elimination of unknown biological contamination and threats in the border zone, etc.
