Hwasun-gun, Emergency Rescue Drill in Confined Spaces

Emergency First Aid Training: Protective Gear Usage, Rescue Equipment Operation, and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

On the 28th, Hwasun County in Jeollanam-do announced that on the 25th, it conducted an emergency rescue drill in cooperation with the Hwasun Fire Station at the Chunyang Water Purification Plant to establish a rapid response system for suffocation accidents in confined spaces.

This drill was organized to prevent suffocation accidents caused by oxygen deficiency or harmful gases during work in confined spaces and to improve appropriate rescue and emergency response capabilities in case of an emergency accident.

On that day, 15 employees from the Water and Sewage Business Office and 6 employees from the Hwasun Fire Station participated in the drill.

In particular, training was provided on how to wear protective gear, use rescue equipment, and perform emergency first aid such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Since the enforcement of the Serious Accident Punishment Act, joint training with related agencies has had a significant effect on raising safety awareness.

A county official stated, “Recently, suffocation accidents in confined spaces have been occurring frequently,” adding, “Since suffocation accidents can happen at any time due to a momentary lapse in attention, we will use this drill as an opportunity to always maintain the response system and make greater efforts to prevent safety accidents.”
