내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will conduct "Safety Accident (Fire) Prevention and Response Training" from August 6 (Wed) to August 7 (Thu) for 1,287 childcare centers and their staff members throughout the city to establish a proactive and responsive safety system within childcare centers.

This training is designed to enhance the fire prevention capabilities and rapid response skills of childcare workers, who are also responsible for safety management at these facilities.

The training is an additional initiative to the ongoing “2025 Customized Education Support Program for Childcare Staff” currently being implemented by the Busan Childcare Comprehensive Support Center.

Key topics include safety rules for fire prevention in childcare centers, emergency procedures in case of a fire, evacuation guidelines for multi-use facilities (i.e., childcare centers), and practical usage of evacuation guides.

The training will be conducted online via Zoom and led by professional instructors affiliated with the Korea Safety Association.

Park Seol-yeon, Director General of the Women and Family Affairs Bureau, stated,
“Recent tragic incidents have once again highlighted the importance of safety management in childcare centers. Through this training, we aim to enhance the safety awareness and prevention capabilities of childcare workers so that children can grow up in a safe care environment.”

Meanwhile, this year, the city is operating 12 customized education programs for childcare workers, including those related to teacher rights, job responsibilities, and labor issues. These programs support the professional development and rights protection of approximately 14,900 childcare workers.
