Jeonnam Fire Department's Stress Reduction Program Using Aquatic Plants Draws Attention

Operation of Water Plant Making Experience Program... Promoting Psychological Stability of Firefighters

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) announced on the 24th that it operated a 'Hydroponic Plant Making Experience Program' on the 23rd to stabilize the psychological state of firefighters and reduce job stress.

Due to the nature of their work, firefighters are exposed to post-traumatic stress from horrific scenes and are prone to emotional labor while handling various urgent civil complaints.

Accordingly, this program was promoted to create a healthy workplace culture through job stress management by directly making hydroponic plants that help emotional healing and air purification.

The program was conducted for all employees of the headquarters, including the comprehensive situation room, aviation unit, and special rescue team. Psychological counselors from the fire headquarters visited each department for direct guidance.

Employees who participated in the program said, "While making green aquatic plants ourselves, we were able to temporarily put aside our busy work, communicate with colleagues, and felt joy and psychological comfort."

In addition, to create a happy and enjoyable workplace atmosphere and to contribute a little to the local economy, coffee coupons usable in the Jangheung area were provided to participating employees.

Ma Jaeyoon, Chief of Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, said, "We expect this event to help reduce the stress of firefighters who live in a state of tension," and added, "We will expand and operate stress reduction programs in all fire stations."
