KCC Construction Runs Life-Saving First Aid Training for 28 Consecutive Years

KCC Construction announced that it began first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (FA/CPR) training for all employees starting on May 22. This annual training program, which has been conducted since 1999, will be held a total of three times—two sessions per round—until next month.

The training is a hands-on, in-person program led by certified instructors from the Korean Red Cross. It is designed to teach participants the correct response procedures in emergency situations and the appropriate first aid methods for various scenarios. The curriculum focuses on practical skills applicable in real-life situations, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the use of automated external defibrillators (AED), and responses to airway obstruction. The primary goal is to strengthen employees’ practical capabilities so they can respond quickly and systematically in emergencies and disaster situations.

The company proactively established its training system before such safety education became common practice in Korea’s construction industry, maintaining it annually since 1999 except during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of this year, the cumulative number of participants has reached approximately 2,800.

This is not just an internal program; it is integrated with the company’s HR system. All employees, including those eligible for promotion, are required to complete the training at least once by rank. The company explained that this approach is intended to instill a culture of safety awareness and respect for life throughout the organization.

A KCC Construction representative stated, "We have AEDs installed and operated on every floor of our headquarters, and we ensure that employees are thoroughly familiar with their use and emergency response procedures through regular training. We are dedicated to establishing a prompt and systematic initial response system in the event of an emergency, as well as fostering a culture of safety at all business sites."
