Kim Heun-su, who has been working as a delivery worker in Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do for 12 years, was enjoying the sauna at a local bathhouse on the 2nd of last month. Kim heard a loud thud nearby and rushed over to find an elderly person unconscious and collapsed on the floor.

He immediately asked a nearby citizen to call the 119 emergency services and recalled the safety training he received at the delivery branch to perform CPR. Following the instructions given over the phone by the 119 emergency operator, Kim continued emergency measures until the paramedics arrived on the scene. The patient was transported to a nearby hospital by the paramedics and is reported to have recovered quickly and been discharged.

The ability to calmly and swiftly save a precious life through CPR in an emergency situation was thanks to the safety training provided to delivery workers at the CJ Logistics delivery branch.

Kim Heun-su said, "It was my first time experiencing such a situation, so I was very scared, but when I saw the collapsed elderly person, I only thought about performing CPR," adding, "I remembered the safety training I had received and tried it, and the immediate response showed me once again how important the golden time is."

Since his delivery area is rural, Kim also plays the role of a neighborhood safety guardian. As he delivers in the same area every day, he is known to build close relationships with residents by checking on the elderly neighbors and their health.
