Seogwipo Fire Station Conducts 'Assault Accident Prevention and Countermeasure Training' for Paramedics

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Seogwipo Fire Station of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province (Chief Kim Ji-hyung) announced on the 10th that it conducted 'Assault Accident Prevention and Countermeasure Training' for paramedics at the Seogwipo Fire Station on the 9th.

This training was organized because, despite continuous promotion and preventive measures against assaults on paramedics, paramedics dispatched to the field are still exposed to verbal abuse and physical assault.

The main training content includes self-protection for paramedics and response to assault incidents, behavioral guidelines for paramedics according to different situations, assault prevention manuals, and the use of on-site evidence recording equipment (such as wearable cameras).

Chief Kim Ji-hyung of the Fire Station stated, "Assaulting or verbally abusing paramedics who respond to save lives is not just simple violence but a criminal act," and added, "We plan to strictly respond according to relevant laws and the zero-tolerance principle by strengthening measures for dealing with intoxicated individuals and securing evidence."
