Gwangju Urban Railway Corporation Conducts 'Citizen-Level Safety Education'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation (President Yoon Jinbo) announced on the 29th that it conducted a ‘Customer-Level Safety Education’ program to teach passengers who actually boarded the trains how to respond to emergency situations while using the subway.

During the training, essential safety instructions were vividly provided, including ▲how to use the ‘Emergency Communication Device’ that allows passengers to directly contact the train operator in case of an emergency ▲the location and usage of emergency fire extinguishers installed in each car ▲and how to manually open the train doors and safely evacuate following the operator’s instructions during an emergency escape situation.

A citizen who participated in the training said, “These were things I usually overlooked, but learning by checking each facility inside the train made it easy to understand,” and added, “I feel greatly reassured because I think I can respond calmly even if an actual situation occurs.”

President Yoon Jinbo stated, “We are making efforts to improve citizens’ safety awareness along with thorough safety management to operate the safest urban railway,” and added, “We will continue to implement more substantial programs such as regular disaster response training to ensure citizens’ safety.”
