Implementation of 'Improvement in Administrative Work Methods of On-Site Response Departments'

The Ulsan Fire Headquarters (Chief Lee Jae-soon) is reducing unnecessary administrative practices and improving the firefighting activity system to focus on fieldwork and education/training.


On the 27th, the Ulsan Fire Headquarters announced that it will fully implement the "Policy to Improve the Administrative Work Execution Method of Field Response Departments."


This initiative aims to create a work environment centered on field response activities by identifying and eliminating formal administrative tasks continuously performed by field response departments. It was planned to reduce the administrative workload through improvement and standardization of execution methods and to improve the system focusing on field activities and education/training.


The Ulsan Fire Headquarters selected two major tasks: the preparation of the "Standard Work Log for Ulsan City Fire Officers" and the "Measures to Reduce Electronic Document Production Rate in Field Response Departments," and since June, relevant department officials have gathered to discuss these matters.


They will implement the "Standard Work Log for Ulsan Metropolitan City Fire Officers," reorganized to stop unnecessary entries traditionally continued such as handover preparations and routine work, and refocused on field activities and education/training.


Additionally, through a comprehensive survey and work diagnosis of administrative tasks in field response departments, 31 discontinued tasks and 38 tasks with improved execution methods were identified and eliminated or improved out of a total of 219 administrative tasks. This reduced administrative tasks by 26% compared to previous levels, creating conditions that allow more focus on the field.



Lee Jae-soon, Chief of Ulsan Fire Headquarters, said, "The reason for the existence of firefighting is to protect the lives and property of citizens," and added, "We will create a work environment where employees can focus more on field activities and education/training."
