Jeonbuk Fire Department Conducts 'Practical Training' to Enhance Expertise in Hazardous Materials Facilities

The Jeonbuk Fire Headquarters (Chief Ju Nak-dong) worked hard to enhance the administrative expertise of fire officers in hazardous materials.

Jeonbuk Fire announced on the 16th that it conducted a ‘Hazardous Materials Facility Practical Training’ for about 70 fire officers.

The hazardous materials facility practical training is an educational program for fire officers who have few opportunities to encounter hazardous materials facilities, where they learn about safety management and fire inspection procedures related to hazardous materials facilities together with professional instructors.

This practical training was divided into civil complaint and fire inspection fields covering all hazardous materials facilities such as hazardous materials manufacturing plants, general handling facilities, outdoor tank storage, gas stations, and mobile tank storage.

Through instructors selected internally by field, a Q&A session was held on how to handle hazardous materials civil complaints and procedures for accessing and inspecting hazardous materials facilities.

In addition, with the enforcement of the obligation to submit regular inspection results following the revision of the Hazardous Materials Safety Control Act, the training focused on how to fill out regular inspection forms, aiming to improve future hazardous materials safety consulting capabilities.

Jeonbuk Fire plans to continue on-site practical training by visiting workplaces of various types and scales of hazardous materials facilities such as indoor storage, indoor tank storage, and transfer handling facilities to provide high-quality hazardous materials civil complaint services to residents.

Meanwhile, there are 6,168 hazardous materials facilities in the province, and the Fire Headquarters is promoting step-by-step safety measures from prevention to preparedness and response, including access inspections, safety consulting, production of hazardous materials manufacturing process safety management books, joint training, maintaining cooperation systems with related organizations, and operating the hazardous materials accident investigation committee to ensure the safety management of hazardous materials facilities.
