Hanwha Construction Division said on the 7th that on the 6th it provided scenario-based first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training at the Seoul Arena complex cultural facility construction site to protect the health and safety of foreign workers, while simultaneously conducting Zoom video training across all sites.

Hanwha Construction Division expanded this training as the share of foreign workers at construction sites has continued to rise and the importance of their response capabilities in emergencies has grown as a key factor determining on-site safety. In particular, this session was the first to have a foreign worker safety culture instructor and a first aid specialist jointly participate, improving foreign workers' understanding and aiming to strengthen practical emergency response capabilities.

The training covered: ▲ first aid methods by situation ▲ cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using an automated external defibrillator (AED) ▲ CPR when an automated external defibrillator (AED) is not used.

Kim Yun-hae, head of safety, environment and management at Hanwha Construction Division, said, "In winter, severe cold increases the risk of various emergencies, including cardiovascular disease," and added, "We expect this training to further strengthen foreign workers' emergency response capabilities."
