Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek Port Authority Conducts Maritime Safety Accident Prevention Training

Utilizing our own safety education program for employees working at Geobuk Island and Jebu Marina.

Training to prepare for maritime safety accidents, including survival swimming, drowning rescue, and CPR.

□ On the 6th, Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek Port Authority (CEO Seok-gu Kim) announced that it conducted safety training for employees working at Geobukseom Marina and Jebu Marina at the Gyeonggi Maritime Safety Experience Center to prevent maritime accidents.

❍ This training was conducted to prevent safety accidents that may occur at sea and to develop response capabilities in case of an emergency.

❍ In particular, the training was conducted at the Gyeonggi Marine Safety Experience Center, which is directly operated by the Corporation and is the first marine safety experience center in the country that provides practical experience in marine disaster prevention capabilities and marine accident response capabilities.

❍ Training for various emergency situations was conducted in the order of demonstration and experience by instructors with professional qualifications such as lifeguards and emergency medical technicians.

❍ First, we started with survival swimming, including water adaptation, breathing methods, and how to wear a life jacket to stay on the surface for as long as possible with minimal physical strength in case of a sea disaster, and then we maximized the effectiveness through training that assumes real situations, such as escaping using an emergency escape ladder in case of a sinking ship, boarding a life raft, sending a distress signal, and rescuing drowning people.

❍ In addition, we learned about the importance of CPR in cardiac arrest situations, how to perform it, how to use an AED, and directly practiced training to prepare for various emergency situations.

❍ An employee who attended the training that day said, “I think the systematic training program to prepare for various emergency situations that can occur at sea was very helpful. Based on the training content, I will continue to practice so that I can apply it without panicking when an emergency situation arises during future work.”

❍ Kim Seok-gu, the president of the corporation, said, “As the corporation promotes various marine leisure projects utilizing the Gyeonggi sea, such as marina management and operation, the need for employees and customers to have the ability to prevent and respond to safety accidents has increased.” He added, “We will do our best to prevent safety accidents by regularizing disaster safety education and training so that all employees, including marina workers, can internalize safety management capabilities.”

❍ Meanwhile, the company is expanding the scope of its marine leisure tourism business, including the consignment management and operation of Geobukseom Marina in Siheung City following Jebu Marina in Hwaseong, and is strengthening its expertise as a local public enterprise specializing in marine ports.
