Suwon City Trains 12,000 'Saebit Safety Keepers' This Year for Emergency and Urgent Situation Response

Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun is attending the Saebit Safety Keeper training and receiving CPR education.

The city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province is actively training 'Saebit Safety Keepers' equipped with the capability to respond swiftly to disasters and emergencies.

Following the Saebit Safety Keeper inauguration ceremony held last February, Suwon conducted the first training session for public officials and organization heads on the 26th of last month.

So far, nine training sessions have been held for public officials, with about 1,000 participants completing the program. The 10th session will take place on the 30th at the city hall auditorium.

The Saebit Safety Keeper training consists of a two-hour face-to-face session led by a safety education expert. Participants receive explanations and practice emergency treatment and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques. Those who complete the training receive a mobile certificate of completion.

There are also 'visiting training' sessions conducted at community service centers, district offices, and business sites, as well as regular training held at the Suwon Citizens' Hall auditorium and the Suwon Traffic Safety Education Center.

Regular training sessions are organized when there are 20 or more applicants. Up to 150 sessions will be held by September, aiming to train around 5,000 people as Saebit Safety Keepers.

Any Suwon citizen, whether individual or group, can apply for the training. Applications can be made by visiting the Suwon city website and searching for 'Saebit Safety Keeper Training.'

For visiting training, applicants must download the application form and submit it via email (teno1234@korea.kr). Applications by phone (031-228-3675) are also accepted.

Suwon plans to train 12,500 citizens this year, representing 1% of its population, and by 2026, aims to have over 62,500 Saebit Safety Keepers, accounting for more than 5% of the city's population.

A Suwon city official stated, "In critical moments where every second counts, citizens can become safety keepers and save precious lives before firefighters and police arrive. We encourage many citizens to participate in the Saebit Safety Keeper training to protect the lives of their families and neighbors."
