The Gwangju City Management Corporation conducted a simulated training exercise on October 27 at the Jungdae Pumping Station to prepare for potential safety accidents during confined space work.
According to the corporation, the training was organized by the pumping team and focused on identifying risks of oxygen deficiency and exposure to hazardous gases during work in sewage facilities, as well as mastering response procedures in case of an accident.
The training emphasized the proper use of safety equipment, measuring oxygen levels and hazardous gases before work, conducting rescue drills based on hypothetical accident scenarios, and providing emergency care after a rescue.
The corporation conducts these simulated drills twice a year, considering the risks associated with confined space work.
Moving forward, the corporation plans to continue reviewing safety management procedures tailored to on-site conditions and to provide ongoing education and training to prevent accidents.
CEO Choi Chan-yong stated, "Safety measures and adherence to work procedures are crucial for confined space work. We will enhance on-site response capabilities and create a safe working environment through continuous safety education and drills."
