SES specialists emphasized the importance of continuous improvement of professional skills, modern technical equipment, and coordinated interaction with other units.
The students had the opportunity to experience the role of special-purpose emergency rescue unit members and concluded that work related to preventing and mitigating the consequences of accidents involving hazardous substances is risky, yet remains exceptionally important and highly responsible.
