An accident response manual for garbage truck drivers has been established to ensure swift and systematic action in the event of an accident during garbage truck operations.
According to Sejong City, on August 8, a training session based on this manual was held at the Gowon-dong Environmental Management Office for 70 participants, including members of the Resource Circulation Division, as well as environmental management staff and driving officials from Jochiwon-eup, Hansol-dong, Areum-dong, and Boram-dong. This was announced on August 13.
The focus has been on improving the previous approach, which relied on individual drivers' personal experience and judgment.
The manual specifies that in the event of an accident, the driver must first prevent secondary accidents and ensure their own safety by stopping the vehicle and turning on the hazard lights. Next, the driver should check for any casualties, report the incident to emergency services (119), notify the Resource Circulation Division at City Hall, and then collect accident information, following a step-by-step response process.
The city plans to respond promptly after receiving information from the driver, depending on the presence and severity of any casualties. The introduction and dissemination of the manual is expected to improve both the speed of accident reporting and the accuracy of the response. The manual used for the training will be placed in all 65 garbage trucks operated by Sejong City by August 13.
