The Ansan Fire Department conducted hands-on first aid training on November 12 to enhance the safety of bank customers and employees.
According to the fire department, 30 employees from the NH Bank Ansan branch participated in training focused on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
This training is part of fire prevention measures for the winter of 2026-2027.
The program aims to prepare for sudden emergencies, such as cardiac arrest, and improve the initial response capabilities of on-site staff.
Park Eun-ok, head of the Ansan Fire Department's Safety Team, led the training, explaining CPR techniques, AED usage, and emergency response strategies for winter-related incidents.
She emphasized that quick reporting and initial responses, such as CPR, by the first witness to a cardiac arrest can significantly increase survival rates.
The training also included practical first aid methods that employees can apply in real-life situations.
Additionally, the NH Bank Ansan branch has installed an AED and plans to add external signage to help citizens easily locate and access the equipment.
Meanwhile, Chief Ko Young-joo stated, “In emergencies, the quick judgment and initial response of those nearby are crucial for saving lives.” He added, “We will continue to promote community-focused first aid training to help citizens respond calmly in emergencies.”
