Strengthening On-Site Activity Safety Accident Prevention Training

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) is strengthening education to prevent safety accidents during firefighters' field activities. Through this, they plan to ensure the safety of residents more reliably.

According to Jeonnam Fire on the 12th, there were 28 safety accidents during firefighting activities last year, which is a 51% decrease compared to 54 cases in 2019.

Jeonnam Fire has decided to conduct safety accident prevention education more systematically this year to do their best to prevent the loss of firefighting resources caused by safety accidents involving fire officials.

In particular, video materials analyzing types of safety accident occurrences, such as field activity risk factors and safety accident cases, will be regularly updated at least once a week and provided to firefighters.

Field personnel use the educational materials to conduct viewing education and brainstorming discussions among staff to consider problems and seek solutions, striving to prevent safety accidents.

Fire Chief Ma Jaeyoon said, “Fire officials, who are responsible for the safety of the public, must always strive to become field experts,” and added, “We will do our best to improve the quality of fire services through systematic field activity safety management.”

Meanwhile, last year, 3,351 fire officials at Jeonnam Fire Headquarters used 689 mobile equipment to carry out firefighting activities averaging 578 cases per day, including 2,472 fires, 35,877 rescues, and 75,258 emergency medical services.
