Gwanak-gu Provides Non-Face-to-Face CPR Emergency Care Training for Individual Taxi Prospective Operators

Seoul Transportation Culture Education Center Operates Non-Face-to-Face Online Training for Individual Taxi Prospective Operators...Expected to Strengthen Emergency Response Skills of Prospective Taxi Drivers and Serve as Guardians of Resident Safety

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu District Office (Mayor Park Junhee) is operating a visiting non-face-to-face cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training course for prospective individual taxi operators at the Seoul Transportation Culture Education Center.

The district stated that it prepared this training to operate online education, preventing the potential spread of COVID-19 in the community that could occur through group face-to-face training, and to minimize gaps in essential education.

The training is conducted by an emergency medical technician instructor from the Gwanak-gu Public Health Center using the video conferencing program ZOOM, delivering lectures via PC and smartphones, and enabling two-way real-time communication through chat.

The training content includes safety rules during emergency rescue, adult CPR, use of automated external defibrillators (AED), and airway obstruction treatment.

The training is held every Wednesday from 10 a.m. for one hour, and schedules can be checked and applications submitted through the Seoul Transportation Culture Education Center website (Transport Worker Education → Education Application → New Education Non-face-to-face Application).

The visiting non-face-to-face CPR training is a resident-centered education program conducted at living spaces such as apartments, schools, and the Transportation Culture Education Center.

In particular, this training focuses on prospective taxi drivers who are likely to witness emergencies in contact with local residents, strengthening emergency response capabilities and expecting them to serve as protectors of community safety.

Mayor Park Junhee said, “Although experiential face-to-face education has been suspended due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, we prepared non-face-to-face training for prospective individual taxi operators to prepare for emergencies that frequently occur in daily life. Going forward, we will do our best to ensure healthy and safe living through various safety management trainings that help residents in their daily lives, including CPR education.”
