Non-face-to-face Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Treatment Online Training

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) is operating non-face-to-face CPR training courses for prospective individual taxi operators at the Seoul Transportation Culture Education Center and childcare teachers in the area.

The district announced that it is conducting the training online to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 through group face-to-face education and to minimize gaps in essential education.

This training is conducted using the video conferencing program (ZOOM), delivering lectures via PC and smartphones, and enabling real-time two-way communication through chat.

The training for prospective individual taxi operators is conducted by an emergency rescue specialist instructor from the district health center at the Transportation Culture Education Center, covering safety rules during emergency rescue, adult CPR, use of automated external defibrillators (AED), airway obstruction treatment, and how to use the Emergency Medical Information Provision (EGEN) app.

The training sessions are held from June onwards on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month from 10 to 11 a.m. for one hour. Participants can check the schedule and apply through the Seoul Transportation Culture Education Center website (Transport Worker Education → Education Application → New Education Non-face-to-face Application).

Additionally, an external instructor with a Level 1 Emergency Rescue Technician qualification conducts non-face-to-face video training at a permanent training center for 20 childcare teachers in the area.

The training covers emergency treatment methods for infants and young children, CPR, and AED theory, with plans for individual practical sessions.

In particular, this training focuses on prospective taxi drivers and childcare teachers who are likely to witness emergencies in contact with local residents, aiming to strengthen emergency response capabilities and fulfill their roles as guardians of community safety.

Mayor Park Junhee said, “The importance of safety education to prepare for emergencies that frequently occur in daily life is increasing, but due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation, face-to-face education is difficult, so we prepared non-face-to-face video education. We will do our best to provide various safety education programs that help in daily life, including CPR training, so that residents can live healthily and safely.”
