The center recreates on-site situations exactly as they occur. It simulates accident scenarios that are highly likely to happen in logistics centers, such as forklift, conveyor belt, and dock operations, to train employees on how to respond. Advanced equipment including virtual reality (VR) has been introduced to vividly reproduce crisis situations. The company stated that it has 42 VR devices, the largest number among safety experience centers in Korea. By wearing VR devices and walking on simulators, employees can experience three-dimensional scenarios such as entrapment, falls, and fires.



Training is also provided to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and how to operate automated external defibrillators (AED) in preparation for emergencies. The company is the first in the logistics industry to receive CPR training institution certification from the Korean Association of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Eom Sang-yong, Head of Safety Management at CJ Logistics, said, "To internalize safety, continuous education and habit formation are necessary, so we expect the Safety Experience Center to play an important role."
