According to the corporation, on August 21, the Nungpyeong Sports Center provided training for all staff, focusing on responding to water safety incidents, CPR, first aid, and rescue techniques with the help of experts.
This training emphasized practical exercises based on real-life scenarios rather than theoretical instruction, aiming to enhance employees' on-site response capabilities.
Staff members practiced entering the water to assess the condition of drowning victims and safely execute rescue procedures, learning necessary judgment and initial response protocols in emergencies.
Participants in the training expressed that, "Practicing rescue training in the water made it clearer what to prioritize in an emergency situation," adding, "I realized the importance of regularly assessing our response capabilities to ensure the safety of pool users."
The Nungpyeong Sports Center plans to continue regular safety training and response drills tailored to various types of incidents, prioritizing user safety.
Additionally, the center will conduct periodic safety inspections of its facilities and continuously improve its on-site safety management system.
