This training was held a total of six times from August 8 to November 3, with 109 executives and employees completing the entire program.


The training curriculum included hands-on exercises such as using fire extinguishers to suppress fires that may occur in daily life, experiencing emergency descent devices for evacuation, simulating vehicle overturning incidents that could happen while using transportation, and practicing subway fire escape drills. These activities provided practical, field-oriented education by recreating various real-life disaster scenarios.


Through these exercises, employees enhanced their crisis response skills by directly experiencing response protocols and rapid evacuation procedures tailored to different situations. Employees who recognized the importance of safety through the hands-on training voluntarily participated in additional courses, contributing to the spread of a safety culture within the organization.


A satisfaction survey conducted on the training showed a high satisfaction score of 98.55 points. Respondents also shared opinions on expanding the experiential programs to cover a wider range of disaster scenarios. In response, the corporation plans to conduct various simulated disaster drills in cooperation with related agencies such as fire departments within its office building in the future.


Furthermore, there are plans to expand the scope of disaster response training to include local residents, thereby promoting the establishment of a safety culture throughout the community.
