[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] The Gwangyang Bay Area Free Economic Zone Authority announced on the 27th that it will operate the "Environmental Management Specialist Training Course" to ensure the normal operation and proper management of facilities emitting environmental pollutants such as air and wastewater.


The training course is conducted for environmental technicians at air and wastewater emission businesses under the jurisdiction of the Gwangyang Economic Authority, aiming to cultivate environmental management experts who can independently check compliance with environmental regulations and voluntarily improve facilities.


The training will be held from May to September, following COVID-19 prevention guidelines, with group sessions lasting 2 hours each, involving 4 to 8 environmental technicians per session. The training is free of charge.


The main training content includes understanding environmental laws related to air and wastewater, operation and management of emission and prevention facilities, understanding procedures through self-measurement and reporting cases, compliance requirements for environmental technicians including responses to environmental pollution accidents, and information on statutory education for environmental technicians. Online lectures (related to climate crisis response and carbon neutrality, practical training for environmental technicians) will also be conducted in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment-designated 'Jeonnam Green Environment Support Center.'



An official from the Economic Authority stated, "Most small-scale businesses emitting environmental pollutants receive administrative sanctions due to lack of knowledge of environmental laws related to air and wastewater. We will do our best to strengthen the capabilities of environmental technicians (business sites) through the 'Environmental Management Specialist Training Course.'"
