This training focused on rental agricultural machinery commonly used on farms, such as cultivators, power tillers, and riding mowers. The paramedics learned the names of agricultural machines, basic operating methods, types of farm work, and potential accident and risk factors. Emphasis was placed on learning how to stop machinery operation and respond properly in the event of an accident.
Most agricultural machinery accidents occur between March and October, the main farming season, with machine overturns accounting for 50% and entanglement accidents for 42%. As the fatality rate is known to be 8.7 times higher than that of regular automobiles, thorough accident prevention and on-site response are required.
Park Eonjeong, Director of the Jangseong Agricultural Technology Center, stated, "We will minimize casualties from agricultural machinery accidents through ongoing cooperation with the Jangseong Fire Station," and urged, "It is essential to follow safety guidelines during busy farming periods."
