Stora Enso will conduct a major emergency drill at its Anjalankoski mills on Friday, October 31 during the morning hours. The exercise aims to test emergency response procedures for potential large-scale accidents.
The drill is organized in cooperation with the Kymenlaakso Rescue Department. It focuses on ensuring effective operations during emergency situations. The company emphasizes this is only a practice, not an actual emergency.
Rescue vehicles will move frequently around the mill area and nearby locations during the exercise. Local residents may notice increased emergency service activity. The company confirms the drill poses no danger to staff or the environment.
Anjalankoski is an industrial town in southeastern Finland known for its paper and pulp production facilities. Stora Enso operates several mills in the region that employ hundreds of workers.
Regular safety drills demonstrate the company's commitment to workplace safety standards. Such exercises help identify potential weaknesses in emergency response plans before real crises occur.
